small feature suggestion. not sure if this already exists.  if not maybe you could use it. 

### Describe the solution you'd like

```
def extent_slice(da):
    '''
    return a `da.sel`-slicable dictionary of coords for the extents of da 
    
    Example
    --------
    big_da.sel(extent_slice(small_da)) 
    '''
    coords = da.coords
    return {k:slice(coords[k].min().data,coords[k].max().data) for k in coords}

```


useful in conjunction with `interp_like`, `interp`, and `binary operations`. 

### Describe alternatives you've considered
