If `False`, we just preserve the underlying array type.

Then the user could do `ds.as_numpy().to_dict(array_to_list=False)` to always get numpy arrays as #7739","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,261727170

But in brief:
- We use the NumPy docstring convention: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/HOWTO_DOCUMENT.rst.txt
- For unit tests, we use pytest, with helper functions/methods for verifying comparisons between objects. Take a look at the existing tests for examples to emulate: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/25d1855e737444c156f50d1f37a67d9674a8bac5/xarray/tests/test_dataset.py#L2402
