For example, sparse arrays do have their coordinates / CSR representation as primary index (`.sel()`) while dense array's primary index is the position (`.isel()`).
Every labeled dimension is therefore just a separate mapping of a string to the index position in the array.

Going one step further, one could have continuous dimensions where positional indexing (`.isel()`) does not really make sense.
Looking at TileDB's dimensions provides an example for this.

=> Having explicit and implicit indices on arrays would be awesome, even if they don't support all xarray features!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,262642978
