Making data input a little smarter

[tomcardoso]

Currently, when a user drops data with percentage or dollar signs into Chart Tool, the data ingestor removes those characters entirely as they're not useful for data parsing.

It'd be cool if Chart Tool could recognize symbols like $ and % and automatically add them as prefixes or suffixes on the x- or y-axis.

Are there any other small efficiencies we could find in the data entry process? Could we be doing some analysis of the data and providing a guess as to what the date formatting should be? Or what tags to add? Chart type, even? What does that code look like? A set of analysis functions that runs on newly inputted data and returns a bunch of recommendations to the interface/user?
