There are loads of places in xarray's API which require a dimension, but the operation would make just as much sense if a 1D coordinate were supplied instead (as that uniquely specifies a dimension).

I encountered the same kind of problem in #3334 with `da.transpose()`.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a little helper function process the `dim` input to these functions and if it's a 1D coord, just demote it to the corresponding dim.
