Both `Dataset.rename` and `DataArray.rename` do a bit too much, IMHO.

For `Dataset`, I actually prefer using `rename_dims` or `rename_vars` as it is easier to understand.

Maybe we could add similar methods for `DataArray` too, e.g., `rename_dims` and `rename_coords`? And also `rename_array`?

To go even further, should we eventually depreciate the generic `rename` methods and encourage using the more specific methods? ","{""total_count"": 6, ""+1"": 6, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1124596666
