Yes agree! No strong view on what it should be, `THIS_ARRAY` seems fine. 

Would we remove the name before passing back the array?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,801728730

IIUC people can do `.rename` rather than passing a name. Unless I'm missing something I would lightly vote to remove that arg.

But no strong preference and +1 to merging this.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,801728730

One final pause on the name — `apply` isn't used in python much — would something with `call` work? But `call_as_dataset` sounds like we're `call`-ing a dataset rather than a function. `call_with_dataset`?.
