Yes, that is actually in my mind.

I added a tag `good first issue` for this.
I love to implement this by myself but I don't think I have enough free time near future...

This also seems pretty reasonable to me. I’ve written a version of this utility function a handful of times, so I at least would find it useful.

Would we also want `load_dataarray`?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,432019600

Thanks for the comments.

I personally want to a simpler function for the daily (not so big data) analysis without caring open / close stuff. 
(and probably also for new users)
Is it too much if we add `load_dataset` function that works similar to `np.load_txt` in terms of the file handling?

But what about the usual scientist workflow where you work in multiple cells

```
ds.load()

# do computation
```

next cell:
```
do more computation
```
...

```
ds.close()  # is this right?
ds.to_netcdf('test.nc')

I wonder if we should add `autoclose` as a kwarg for `to_netcdf`. If `autoclose=True`, remove that file from the LRU cache if present, and then write to file.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,432019600
