The original intent (see https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/245) was for more faithful roundtripping of netCDF files, which may not have all coordinate variables defined. Arguably, it would make more sense to only do this when a certain `encoding` parameter is found (e.g., `{'trivial_index': True}`), indicating that xarray created the coordinate itself.
