Unless I'm missing something, this should keep the information on the dimensions while also allowing to change the data independently: It might make sense to change how `assign_coords`/`ds.coords[k] = v`] works, but in general we *do* want `assign`/`ds[k] = v` to add in coordinates from assigned DataArray objects rather than dropping them silently.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,517195073
