How would this PR violate that? Of course. I mean that if someone changes the dimensionality of a non-index coord from 1D to 2D, then running `.sel` over it will stop working. Whereas now, neither would work. Which in some ways is worse, but also less surprising. I think these are always difficult trade-offs...

In particular, one maxim we've generally held is that changing the number of dimensions doesn't change functionality. (ofc it changes whether it's possible to _create_ an index, though the indexing API doesn't change) What are others' thoughts?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,592312709
