How do you linearly interpolate strings, objects or booleans?

This is why we drop them now. my point is that doing "nearest" when the user has specified method="linear" is v. confusing. Perhaps we should have method="linear+nearest" (or something better) for what you propose: linear for numeric, nearest for everything else.

Q: Does the current version of xarray just ignore strings, objects & booleans when method="nearest"?
