I think we should treat this as a regression -- we were already doing this prior to v0.8.

That's why we support non-unique indexes in merge, which is internally used anytime you assign to a Dataset. I'm less sure about the use cases for arithmetic and the like.

Not sure how big a use case this is, so this might be a non-starter.

But two wondrous features of xarray:
- Smaller & more defined surface than pandas, so not forced to have all these work arounds 
- Coords that aren't dimensions, so labels are possible in place of indexes
