Since `DataArray` and `Dataset` just use `Variable.transpose` would it not make more sense to implement this functionality into `Variable.transpose` and just let `Data{set,Array}.transpose` pass on these arguments?","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,932677183

It is interesting that both `DataArray.transpose` and `Variable.transpose` use `utils.infix_dims`, but only the former takes advantage of its `missing_dims` argument.

Yes, this works for the majority of cases (and is a really nice interface). 

It doesn't cover all cases; e.g. we want `a` before `b` and aren't sure whether a or b exist.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,932677183
