That said, I'm afraid I would be -1 on adding special logic to handle this to xarray, though I'm open to being convinced if others feel otherwise.
(The time bounds logic is a bit different, because there are indeed [CF Conventions pertaining to that](http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#cell-boundaries)).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,811933067

It seems to open the door for ambiguity; e.g. it's a pathological example, but one could imagine a ""time_reference"" variable named in the form of a date. In that case what takes precedence when decoding the times, the value of the date in the name, or the value the variable refers to?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,811933067
