We raise a TypeError in the following example, because the dataset has datetime-type dimension.

```python
In [3]: ds = xr.tutorial.load_dataset('air_temperature')

> It might make sense to interpolate on numeric dimensions, and directly reindex on non-numeric dimensions.

I agree for the object type dimension, such as string, reindex is be appropriate and users might expect it.
But for datetime dimension, I think users expect the interpolation rather than reindexing.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,330859619

The current implementation raises TypeError, even when the target destination is just a subset of the current one.
