That's a good suggestion - then we can have backwards compatibility whilst also allowing intuitive code that treats dataarrays and datasets similarly, e.g:

```python
def is_core_dim_chunked(obj, core_dim):
    return len(obj.chunksizes[core_dim]) > 1
```

> `chunksizes` seems too similar to `chunks`

I think `chunksizes` is quite good: it is in keeping with `sizes`, and auto-complete would also show both `chunks` and `chunksizes` when a user types `.ch[tab]` which I think is helpful.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1020282789

I guessed that might be the case!

> I'm not sure whether making this consistent is worth the effort of a significant breaking change though

Still leaves this question though ^ . I made a draft PR in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/5846.

There is another difference between `ds.chunks` and `da.chunks` - the former checks for inconsistent chunking between different variables when called (and will raise `ValueError Object has inconsistent chunks along dimension {dim}. This can be fixed by calling unify_chunks().""`). In contrast `da.chunks` doesn't check, and so it's possible to have a DataArray whose data variable is chunked inconsistently with its coordinate variables and not be warned about it.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1020282789
