Ok, thanks for the thoughtful discussion. I understand why you both feel this shouldn't be implemented in xray. My one objection to the discussion is that I don't think that climatological time is such a "niche" issue--processing climate model output (much of which has no specific calendar date associated with it but still has seasonal cycles, etc.) seems like one of the most useful applications for xray.

I come at this from a very practical point of view. I need to use certain datasets (e.g. WOA13, POP model output) for my research and teaching. I want to teach xray in my fall physical oceanography class---it is perfect for teaching because it "just works" and allows students to quickly load data and do basic analysis easily. This PR request would allow me to do that. I understand the counter-arguments, but I don't know exactly how I should proceed if this can't be part of xray. The options seem to be:

1) Don't use the datasets 2) Don't use xray 3) Use xray without time support

Is there something else I'm missing?
