Having `array` and `xr.DataArray(array)` behave differently as arguments is ([fairly](https://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/indexing.html#vectorized-indexing)) rare, so I can understand that it might be surprising at first. 

One advantage of this is it allowing pointwise indexing over a new dimension. Generally that would be a usefully named dimension (e.g. `z` in the docs), rather than `dim_0` though...

I'll defer to @shoyer on commenting on his design choices if he sees this thread

I do think it's complicated though (I find myself re-reading the docs and trying to remember how it works depending on the type & order of the arguments!), and a nicely presented table with the possible indexing methods and their results would be great.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,564555854

Could you expand a bit? Do you mean re `sel` etc rather than positional indexing?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,564555854
