I weakly favor option 2, as I think it preferable in terms of software architecture and our broader roadmap for Xarray. However, I am cognizant of the significant effort that @martindurant has put into this, and I don't want his effort to go to waste.

Some mitigating factors are:
- The example I gave above (https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/4461#issuecomment-741939277) shows that one high-impact feature that users want (async capabilities in Zarr) already works, albiet with a different syntax. So this PR is more about convenience.
- Presumably the knowledge about Xarray that Martin has gained by implementing this PR is transferrable to a different context, and so we would not be starting from scratch if we went with 2.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,709187212

```python
mapper = fsspec.get_mapper('s3://noaa-nwm-retro-v2.0-zarr-pds')
ds = xr.open_zarr(mapper, consolidated=True)
