Obviously this case is a little more complicated, because x/y and lon/lat don't have a one-to-one correspondence. But I want to be able to write code that works with both cases, ideally without special casing stuff. Being able to have separately named dim and coordinate variables would help a lot.

However, now that I look at this example, I guess in my case I have both x/y and lat/lon in the coordinates anyway, so maybe I should just duplicate them, with different names.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,456769766
