Thanks for the clear example @johnomotani !

IIRC, the second creates an index because ds['x'] = ('x', np.linspace(3,4)) is setting a 1D variable where the name of the variable matches the name of its dimension.

I can see why this is a bit confusing, though it's not an unreasonable default imo. There have been some discussions on this on the issue tracker.

Does ds.set_index(x='b') align the examples? Or do you think there's still some confusion from the API?
