One exception could be setting (many) `PandasIndex` instances, one for each 1-d non-dimension coordinate of a Dataset. Maybe we could adapt `.set_index()` to support that case? Or later add a convenient method that ""extends"" default indexes to all 1-d coordinates if it turns out to be useful in many cases?

Another example would be to replace all default (pandas) indexes by Pint indexes. I guess that a convenient method accessible via the `pint` accessor would do the job well in that case?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1322198907

I guess that depends on how many indexes you'd want to set at once? If that number is constant and small (like, 1-3) then that would be fine for me, but for anything else a bulk API would be great.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1322198907

I don't think we need support for setting multiple indexes at once in a single method call. You can call `set_xindex` multiple times for that if needed.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1322198907

It would probably be good to figure out a way to extend it to accept multiple indexes at once, though, or have another method that allows that (if we think that `set_xindex` might support setting multiple indexes we should make sure the API can be extended).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1322198907
