Yeah  non-dim coordinates essentially make DataArrays a Dataset with one special variable =)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,977149831

Note that automatically adding the index satisfies this condition which seems sensible to me
```
ds.foo.identical(foo)
```

EDIT: would a similar concern apply  to
```
ds.update({""foo"": foo})
```

or is your concern specifically for coords vs data_vars?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,977149831
