I'm wondering if instead of Coordinates.from_pandas_multiindex() we might want to provide a more generic constructor available as an extension point? For example:

Coordinates.from_index(index_obj: Any, *, factory=None, **kwargs=None)

factory could be guessed from the type of index_obj. Xarray would support by default the pandas.MultiIndex and pandas.Index types. Like for IO backends, we could provide a CoordinatesFactoryEntrypoint so that it could support other index types.

One downside is that specific (mandatory?) options like dim for a pandas (multi-)index are not directly visible.

Would it be useful or is it overkill?
