OK.

The Dataset `T` property for transpose should be deprecated -- but that's a separate matter:

I am hesitant to deprecate this since it is so widely used. But you're right that this serves the main use cases.

That's correct. Attribute-style access was always intended as fall-back for convenience purposes, but `__getitem__` (for programmatic access) is intentionally stricter.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,264764526

I am wondering if the following is a designed behavior.

```python

   ...: da
   ...:

xarray's attribute-like data access, e.g. `ds.temperature`, was introduced for the purpose?
This type of data access is convenient but sometimes conflicts to the original attributes, e.g. `T` cannot be accessed like this.
