1. Allow any object with a `__str__` method to be supplied as a variable/dimension label, but then delegate all internal sorting/printing/etc. logic to `str(label)`.
2. Just implicitly run `str` on everything a user tries to input as a label (both when creating an `xarray` object and when accessing fields from an existing object), so that only strings are used internally.
3. Put this on the user, and only allow calling `xarray` objects/methods/etc. with labels already strings, as you suggested @shoyer.

I dunno. Whatever the maintainers think is best? (3) seems least complex on the `xarray` side, but (1) or (2) might be more convenient for users.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,341643235
