This is most applicable to the `Dataset` and I can see a new method for printing this info. What would we call that method? - Pandas has a `df.head` and I think this is technically information stored in the header of the netcdf file, so `ds.head()` could work but pandas prints out some number of rows as well. - Maybe just `ds.info()` which is simple enough and self-explanatory, also no confusion with `df.head()` which returns a `DataFrame`. - I don't really like the `*dump*` alternatives since they will be pretty close to the `pickle.dump`.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,193226503
