An important design question: should this filter both data variables and coordinates or only data variables? My thought is that it's only worth filtering data variables -- filtering out unmatched coordinates is not very useful.

I understand that returning coordinates without a data variable associated to them seems weird to the high level model of xarray.Dataset , but I disagree that it is not very useful. In fact that is the most common operation I do: find coordinates based on axis, formula_terms, etc and construct common grids for plotting and/or building the z coords from non-dimension coords.
