It's important to say that events have to go on a separate TimeSeries than the rest of the data or else, they will interfere with the chart.
Events will look something like this :

This is a nice feature, but as it stands this PR cannot be merged. It removes a bunch of functionality others depend upon. I also think the implementation could be improved to have better performance, as discussed in comments below.

Rather than do this type check on every point on every series, it'd be clearer and faster to create a new series type for these events.

Wouldn't the function be exactly the same ? I just think it doubles the code unnecessarily

The final outcome would be the same, but it's a lot more work to test the type on every single point on all series. Smoothie is light and fast. Currently this cost would be paid by everyone, regardless of whether they use these events. Using a new SmoothieEventSeries type avoids that cost.

@francobottero Have you considered updating this to use a separate TimeSeries type? I for one would like to see this feature added.
