That seems more straightforward to implement with duck typing in dask, anyways. I guess we could go either way, though.

Yeah, this is somewhat unfortunate, but convenient (though somewhat obsolete with dask's cachey). Perhaps adding a dedicated `.compute()` method that does not mutate would be a good idea.
