I think with the following signature, the function will be backward compatible:
```
interpolate_na(dim, method='linear', use_coordinate=True, limit=None, limit_direction='forward', limit_area=None, limit_use_coordinate=False, max_gap=None)

* If the pandas arguments are introduced, one might raise the question, whether the `max_gap` argument of xarray is still necessary, since pandas does not have such an argument. However, if the user does not want **any** interpolation if a gap is bigger than a specified length, this is currently not possible with pandas (actually, the `max_gap` feature is requested by the pandas community since a long time: pandas-dev/pandas#12187 )
* Coordinate handling: Currently, `limit` is operating on indices, `max_gap` is operating on coordinates. Is there a deeper reason for this separation? Both operations limit the interpolation 'distance'. If not, similar to `use_coordinates`, one could introduce something like `limit_use_coordinates`. If True, `limit` as well as `max_gap` refer to numeric coordinates, otherwise to a linearly increasing index ([0,1,2,...]).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1637898633
