- How to work with subclassed Datasets that should return DataArrays? I think the pandas approach is good, we add `Dataset.dataarray_cls = DataArray` and `DataArray.dataset_cls = Dataset` which subclasses can overwrite.
- How to deal with subclasses that change the constructor aka. `__init__`? Probably we need to introduce a kind of shortcut constructor that will be called instead in functions that create new instances (right now the subclass needs the same constructor signature as xarrays version). But then custom instance attributes will not be set etc. Not sure what is the best approach here.
- Is the whole thing limited to DataArrays and Datasets or can one also subclass Variables?","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,602218021

Maybe in the future we can relax this as well and use a shortcut internally.

Yes, xarray fully supports this.
