I thought the possible API would be ``` xr.Dataset({'foo': ('x', data)}, {'x': slice(None)}) ``` where it will construct a evenly spaced coordinate. But I am not sure if we should add this API now or after #1650 is implemented.

I agree that it's sometimes convenient to automatically get coordinates 0 to `n-1`, but using `range()` is also pretty convenient, so I'm not sure we really need this shortcut.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,315948443
