I think we should add an `xr.encode_cf` that wraps `conventions.cf_encoder` (this may have already come up in the ""flexible backends"" discussions). This would parallel `xr.decode_cf`

It'll also need to wrap this logic: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/66259d1853b85590bfbf6640fdfb868843812312/xarray/backends/api.py#L1113-L1127

For simple use cases, you could write a small wrapper for `.cf_encoder` that takes datasets and returns  datasets and it should work just fine (Look at `conventions.decode_cf`).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,696047530
