Would it be conceivable to implement an alternative form of coordinate index which is explicitly a linear coordinate axis, storing only a first point and a step (possibly a last point but that would obviously be redundant with the length of the dimension)

It would be possible to do that after the explicit index refactor is complete (see https://github.com/pydata/xarray/projects/1).

5692 already adds several Xarray methods like isel, sel, concat, stack, roll, rename, etc. to the new Xarray Index base class so that it will be possible to provide alternative indexes as Index sub-classes with custom implementations.

We could certainly add an Index.pad method.
