Do we arrive at the consensus here for API to change the sparse or numpy array? xref #3542

To make it sparse array, to_sparse() would be better? How about or as_sparse()? + to_sparse() is probably consistent to todense() method + as_sparse() sounds similar to sparse's function, e.g. sparse.as_coo

To change the backend back from sparse array, to_dense() would be better? FYI, sparse uses todense().

I personally like as_sparse or as_numpy (or as_dense?), which sounds similar to as_type, which gives xarray object not dtype itself.
