I get a `ValueError: Indexers must be 1 dimensional` (`xarray/core/dataset.py:1031 in isel_points(self, dim, **indexers)` when I try. That is xarray 0.8.2, in fact from my fork recently cloned (~2-3 weeks ago), where I changed one or two `asarray` to `asanyarray` to work with units. Was there a recent change in this area?
EDIT: `xarray/core/dataset.py` looks very similar also here on master, and there are quite a few lines hinting that really only 1D indexers are supported.

In particular, I would like to do pointwise selection on multiple 1D coordinates using multidimensional indexer arrays. I can do this with the current `isel_points`:
1. construct the multidimensional indexers
2. flatten them
3. create a corresponding `MultiIndex`
4. apply the flattened indexers using `isel_points`, and assign the multi-index as the new dimension
5. use `unstack` on the newly created dimension
The first three points can be somewhat simplified by instead putting all of the multidimensional indexer into a `Dataset` and then `stack` it to create consistent flat versions and their multi-index.

Given this conceptually easy but somewhat tedious procedure, couldn't that be something that could quite easily be implemented into the current `isel_points`? Would a PR along that direction have a chance of being accepted?
