As the chart functionality has grown over the past several months the current tooltip design has come to show its limitations for more complex charts.

Describe the solution you'd like
The tooltip should be redesigned to handle all of the following use cases.
Multiple x or other values
Up until now, the tooltip is designed with the x value being constant for all values in the tooltip. This is no longer a valid assumption. Possibilities include a table style tooltip or indented values.
Table style
Indented style
The issue with the table style tooltip is that the field names for x, y, mark, etc. could be very long, creating a very wide tooltip that is less useful.
Aggregate values like min, max, etc.
When multiple values are allowed the logical progression would be to allow for aggregate values to be used per tooltip item. The indented files could be a better way to show this alongside the respective value, see mock up below.
Multiple values from the same series
Up until now, the tooltip would never have two of the same series in the tooltip with the exception of the banded values.
Having multiple values in the tooltip from series based on an extension of the current tooltip design would repeat the series name for each. This seems redundant and avoidable.
Upper and lower (aka banded) values
Currently, we support this style but the items are repeated for each series and the order is not configurable.
