I just clarified this in the docs: http://xray.readthedocs.org/en/stable/indexing.html#nearest-neighbor-lookups

Let me know if that makes sense -- hopefully it's clear now that you actually don't need method='nearest' most use cases. As for your hack, I'm reluctant to support method='nearest' with label based slicing without the upstream functionality in pandas -- which would need to go in Index.slice_locs/Index.slice_indexer: https://github.com/pydata/pandas/blob/be5ad4abcb9d8385110831edd138c1f644fe83ae/pandas/core/index.py#L2457
