For example, that could clarify the difference and relation between dimensions, labels, indices, coordinates, etc.. There are dimensions without coordinates, dimensions that are labelled or unlabelled, there are coordinates that are indices, coordinates that are not indices. I'm still figuring out how all of those relate to each other and how I use them.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,200125945 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1199#issuecomment-275518064,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/1199,275518064,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDI3NTUxODA2NA==,500246,2017-01-26T21:23:32Z,2017-01-26T21:23:32Z,CONTRIBUTOR,"With any kind of marking (such as with *) the problem is that the user might not know what the marking is for, and syntax is hard to google.

Any dimension can be indexed, just the index lookup is by position rather than by coordinate/label. I don't think marking the dimension/coordinate matches makes it any clearer as this matching is by name anyway, and my confusion was due to none of the dimensions having coordinates. I would support simply changing the label.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,200125945
