@shoyer - Do you have thoughts on how this feature would present to the user? In #1811, I have added the compute keyword argument to to_netcdf and to_zarr and put a futures attribute on each store. So the workflow there would be something like:

```Python store = ds.to_netcdf('file.nc', compute=False)

dask.compute(store.futures) ```

Before I spend too much time on #1811, I want to get some buy in on the API for this feature.
