OK, but as you said, this is a low-frequency request. I suppose we
could have an option to force two y-axes (either ignored or
generating an error if only one series is given). This would be fine
for just two series plotted, but for more than two it's not obvious
how we would assign series to the respective y-axes. If anyone has
clever ideas I'm willing to listen!
