At the same time we should provide alternative ways of reusing existing pandas multi-indexes more explicitly in xarray.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,783272657

We might change that with the index refactor (see #1603), but until then it is not possible to have an index on non-dimension coordinates (that's one of the differences between dimension coordinates and non-dimension coordinates).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,783272657
