Thanks for the clear question.

Having array and xr.DataArray(array) behave differently as arguments is (fairly) rare, so I can understand that it might be surprising at first.

One advantage of this is it allowing pointwise indexing over a new dimension. Generally that would be a usefully named dimension (e.g. z in the docs), rather than dim_0 though...

I'll defer to @shoyer on commenting on his design choices if he sees this thread

I do think it's complicated though (I find myself re-reading the docs and trying to remember how it works depending on the type & order of the arguments!), and a nicely presented table with the possible indexing methods and their results would be great.
