Data labels with collision avoidance and connectors for scatter and bubble charts
Scatter and bubble charts do not seem to support collision avoidance for data labels. Along with collision avoidance, connectors that link the points to the data labels would be very helpful.
Thank you for the great library.

As you can see from http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/2cu52v0e/, there is currently collision avoidance.
It hides colliding data labels, but it doesn’t move them, and subsequently doesn’t add connectors.

I would like an option to always have data labels off/outside the bubble to assist readability.
But even something like this screenshot would go a long way
