Detect 'month' and 'season' for timeseries

Addressing a Problem?

A common type of graph is an annual cycle. If time is not in the dimensions, timeseries should try to detect if either month or season are there.

I'd add dayofyear to the list!

EDIT : But also, is an annual cycle a timeseries ? The axis is not time.

We could have a new function annual_cycle, maybe?

But wouldn't the plotting function be the same for annual_cycle and timeseries, even if the names get confusing?
If yes, maybe we could rename timeseries to curves?

I was simply raising a flag in case timeseries did things specific for a datetime x-axis. Even if it does, it might indeed be much easier to if-else around, rather than creating a whole new function.
