Minor preference for checking for inappropriate numpy errors like this and giving a better error message, but I can see this would be difficult.

This won't be the first bewildering error message problem from `**kwargs`, and it won't be the last.  This is a python problem, not an xarray one, per se.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,514191264

I mistakenly read the documentation page for `DataArray.sum()` instead of `DataSet.sum()`.  The former *does* support an `axis` argument, and I believe it makes sense there.

Blacklisting these arguments sounds like a great idea, thanks.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,514191264

What I ended up doing was taking the `data` for each of the data variables and adding the resulting numpy arrays. This gave me the sum across the data variables, along the dim (each data variable is one dimensional and they share a single dimension).

I'm not sure how to suggest fixing the error message, because I'm not sure what xarray doesn't like.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,514191264
