And I think in-place might be surprising if it changed the indexes of the left item; i.e. if you got this result from `A += B`: ```python In [17]: ...: ...: import numpy as np ...: import xarray as xr ...: ...: n = 5 ...: ...: d1 = np.arange(1, n+1) ...: np.random.shuffle(d1) ...: A = xr.DataArray(np.ones(n), coords=[('dim', d1)]) ...: ...: d2 = np.arange(n) ...: np.random.shuffle(d2) ...: B = xr.DataArray(np.ones(n), coords=[('dim', d2)]) ...: ...: A + B Out[17]: array([2., 2., 2., 2.]) Coordinates: * dim (dim) int64 3 2 1 4 ``` ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,589632313 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3910#issuecomment-606070776,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/3910,606070776,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNjA3MDc3Ng==,5635139,2020-03-30T15:30:26Z,2020-03-30T15:30:26Z,MEMBER,"Thanks in advance @mancellin Your comment is almost exactly right. It's that they might not align fully, rather than the shape; i.e. if your example had `range(1,5)` rather than `range(0,4)`, then the array would need to be converted to float to add a `NaN`. Does that make sense?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,589632313 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3910#issuecomment-605501583,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/3910,605501583,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNTUwMTU4Mw==,5635139,2020-03-28T18:38:01Z,2020-03-28T18:41:52Z,MEMBER,"Yes, this is unfortunate.
