Currently, `either_dict_or_kwargs` doesn't have access to the `DataArray` instance's `dims` or the function's keyword arguments; are you suggesting that `either_dict_or_kwargs` be modified to take these? I do like this approach. Otherwise, I'd have to add a second utility function check everywhere `either_dict_or_kwargs` is used, and it'd be easy to forget going forward.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,495920497

This sounds great to me!

One of the great qualities of xarray is the code we write in exploration also works in production, and this behavior violates some of that.
I'd vote for a warning as getting some of the way to a solution

FWIW passing a dict to these methods will work, if you want complete dependability","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,495920497
