Well, if the AreaLinePlot's x-axis is a ValueAxis the additional
ticks make some sense, but for a AreaLinePlot they actually don't
have to make sense because there can be cases where there should
not be any additional ticks, at least not in my case, in which
I'd like to suppress such additional ticks...

I wish there'd be a setting for this or even better, a version
of AreaLinePlot based on a CategoryAxis as well...
