My impression was that the as_* methods would return xarray objects. So we could have DataArray methods

``` python def as_numpy(self): # needs cupy special handling data = self.data if isinstance(data, cupy_array_type): raise NotImplementedError else: return self.copy(data=np.array(data))

def to_numpy(self): """Coerces to and returns a numpy.ndarray""" return self.as_numpy().data ```
