One issue with relying only on Array and Group as currently implemented in Zarr-Python is that we can create array nodes outside of any group subfolder. e.g. one can currently create an Array directly at path 'array1' and this would put the chunks under 'data/root/array1/', and metadata at 'meta/root/array1.array.json'. However, the root itself is not a Group. A group is basically a subfolder under root (e.g.' open_group with path = group1 creates '/meta/root/group1/' folder and 'meta/root/group1.group.json' metadata). There is no mechanism in the spec to open root directly as a Group!

is there an issue on the Zarr side where this is currently being discussed?
