Seems like if your method is going to be named sel_points then points is a reasonable dimension name. Maybe support a name kwarg?

One thing to keep in mind is that for many of us the "nearest-neighbor" part isn't really method='nearest', but instead more like, method='ingridcell' where the grid cell might be roughly square or might be something pretty different. At least that's how I think of my data. Maybe what I really want is some other kind of more explicit support for gridded data, although my thoughts on this are too half-baked to clearly write down. I thought there was another issue related to this, but I couldn't find it.
