It might make sense to split this into a few pieces of functionality: 1. A new helper function that splits an xarray object into separate objects for each chunk, including some representation of the ""chunk id"". Perhaps `split_chunks()`? 2. A new higher level function that combines (1) and the existing `save_mfdataset` to automatically save an xarray object into multiple files. This probably should be a new function rather than using the existing `save_mfdataset` because the API is different.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,726020233
