Charts: indexed data property is confusing.

What went wrong?

The fact that data is now (as of 4.2) index makes the API a bit confusing. I would recommand that indexes for traces are used exactly the same manner, whether or not data is an array of datasets (used for independent, multi-trace charts) or used as an indexed property:

If

dataset1 = ...
dataset2 = ...
dataset = [dataset1, dataset2]

then <|{dataset}|chart|...|> must be equivalent to <|{dataset1}|chart|data[1]=dataset2|...|>.
