Description
Date strings are parsed correctly. However they seem to be only interpreted as categorical.
As a consequence of having larger datasets, the axis that is used for the date is messed up by date labels (one for each data-point).
I'd like to see a date/datetime being interpreted as a numeric variable instead, where labels are automatically aligned (or can be set with a given step size).

Research direction
Start by tracing how date strings are parsed and how chart axes generate labels for large datasets. Define the expected numeric date treatment and label alignment or step-size behavior, then verify that the axis no longer produces one label per data point.
