If we try to stick with the current style, it makes a bit more sense to go in the direction of `{dim: {var: chink_spec}}` since there is already `{dim: x}`, so should a user want a variables specific chunking they would need to adjust it to `{dim: {var: y, ...:x}}`, `...`/`Ellipsis` standing for ""all other variables"" with `dim`. wdyt @shoyer?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,753374426 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/4623#issuecomment-747550111,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/4623,747550111,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDc0NzU1MDExMQ==,1217238,2020-12-17T16:28:10Z,2020-12-17T16:28:10Z,MEMBER,"This seems like a totally reasonable feature to add. The main tricky part would be figuring out the syntax, since we already use dictionaries like `{dim: chunk_spec}`. It's not obvious to me if a nested dict would mean `{var: {dim: chunk_spec}}` or {dim: {var: chunk_spec}}`. Perhaps we should try to come up with another, more explicit option?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,753374426
