To decide that we probably need to figure out what the role of a dimension will be after the index refactor. Before the refactor, we needed to rename the dimension coordinate along with the dimension to keep the index, but now that indexes are independent of dimensions it might be fine not to do that.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1261153511

I was referring to the concept rather than the method. The idea is that you can refer to the `DataArray` by positional or by name, and the method takes either a single string or a `dict` mapping old names to new names, also with a kwargs version (the merging happens with `either_dict_or_kwargs`). That would mean these all do the same thing:
```python
a = xr.DataArray([0, 1, 2], dims=""x"")
a.rename(""new"")
a.rename({None: ""new""})  # None is the current name

b = xr.DataArray([0, 1, 2], dims=""x"", name=""b"")
b.rename(""new"")
b.rename(b=""new"")  # b is the current name

# with coords
c = xr.DataArray([0, 1, 2], dims=""x"", coords={""x"": [""a"", ""b"", ""c""]}, name=""c"")
c.rename(""new"", x=""y"")
c.rename(c=""new"", x=""y"")
c.rename({""c"": ""new"", ""x"": ""y""})  # providing both the `dict` and the kwargs raises
