That combined with the fact that renaming `Variable` to `Block` would break alignment with netCDF naming conventions (so confuse users coming from that background) makes me hesitant about the change. I think I'd be more excited about finding a better name for `noncoordinates` (fields? ) instead of renaming `variables` (which would also cause non-backwards compatibility) ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,40225000
