If that's the case then this seems like a powerful and clear proposal for a widely-useful package which would leverage xarray, but perhaps would not live within xarray itself? We encourage composition over inheritance (i.e. wrap xarray.Dataset with your new `gridded.Dataset`), and the [accessor methods](http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/internals.html#extending-xarray) can be used to provide the `.method` syntax you want. These methods can then interact directly with the lower level arrays xarray wraps if they need to. Even if you ended up reimplementing a large fraction of xarray's API, as each method wrapper would be thin I expect this would still be the most straightforward way to achieve what you want. Once your package is built we could also happily link to it in our list of [projects which use xarray](http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/related-projects.html).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,656165548
