Let's not open that can of worms :). I actually usually import the package as `xarray` these days, since I like the explicitness, and due to xarray's extensive methods it's rare to need to use many functions on one line (as one does for numpy).

I am also weekly in favor of ""Xarray"" for the proper name, if only to avoid ""XArray"". But I don't know if I care enough to update all the docs.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,213426608
