IIRC, the second creates an index because `ds['x'] = ('x', np.linspace(3,4))` is setting a 1D variable where the name of the variable matches the name of its dimension.

I can see why this is a bit confusing, though it's not an unreasonable default imo. There have been some discussions on this on the issue tracker.

Does `ds.set_index(x='b')` align the examples? Or do you think there's still some confusion from the API?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,698577111
