But regardless of what we want boolean indexing with `[]` to do, this would certainly be welcome functionality and should exist in a dedicated method. `ds[key]` is already very heavily overloaded in Xarray, so a more explicit option is nice to have, e.g., for the benefit of readability and static type checking. For the same reason, I would rather not put it inside `isel()` which already integer based indexing with a different call signature. My tentative suggestion is to call this new method `sel_mask()`, since that's what it does -- selection like `sel`/`isel` except based on a mask.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,860418546

Allowing pointwise indexing with bool indexes would also be welcome.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,860418546

Multi-dimensional bool indexing is definitely something we'd like to add.

How does your code differ from the proposals in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1887? In a brief look through the code — thanks for supplying it — I couldn't immediately see why we need a new dimension?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,860418546
