Haha, us both Ray!

I do think that part of laziness is not having to remember too much — so hopefully I can trade you the costs of an extra method call for more consistency!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1294978633

I would say very little. I'm a lazy programmer.

I appreciate the arguments here of not blending methods which could make them more prone to bugs. I doubt there's any noticeable overhead of computation cost with the extra `transpose` call.

@raybellwaves `ds.to_array(dim=""variable"").transpose(""latitude"", ""longitude"", ""variable"")` could be written as `ds.to_array(dim=""variable"").transpose(..., ""variable"")` which generalizes better","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1294978633

The transpose approach is more modular, since it takes advantage of the orthogonality of the methods — i.e. we have one method for all usages, rather than kwargs in lots of methods.

We've also managed to have `axis` as a hidden implentation detail, and this would start exposing it.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1294978633
