The issue is that I want a practical single option for `open_dataset` that can disable all of xray's decoding options (which don't always work), just so the data can be examined. These conventions include NUG, COORDS, CF and even some xray specific conventions (so far, only for encoding coordinates without data variables). Perhaps rather than `decode_cf=True`, we should have `raw=False` or `decode=True`?

To me, the word makes sense because the data can be ""coded"" on disk according to various conventions and compression settings. This is similar to the situation with Unicode strings and bytes -- you can encode Unicode in various ways into bytes.
