Thanks! Yah...I'm not very good at naming things. I think Dataset.to_stacked_array makes sense, but I would typically expect something like from_stacked_array to be a static method of Dataset (e.g. pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples). We could always move unstack_cat to Dataset, but then we miss out on the ability to make sequential method calls.

IMO the behavior of unstack_cat is kind of what I would expect DataArray.to_dataset to do in the case where dim is a stacked coordinate, so maybe we could put it in there.
