Unfortunately, I don't have any examples handy since I wrote that code at my last job. What this code does is add the `projection=ccrs.PlateCarree()` automatically, along with a few other geo specific niceties. I made that suggestion for cartopy itself (https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/645) but it hasn't been acted on yet. I agree that this is a good fit for xarray because the plotting API is difficult to extend externally. One nice way to present this to users could be to make a `geoplot` accessor that works like the current `plot` accessor but adds these geo specific options. Then you could write, e.g., `data.geoplot.pcolormesh()`.
