We don't even have it on `Dataset` objects, though I suppose that could be a logical addition. Currently dimensions are just strings. I would be reluctant to use some sort of more complex object instead.

In principle, we could probably also save this information via some flag in the `encoding` dict associated with the coordinate variables.
