Is your feature request related to a problem?

Take a simple example

python import xarray as xr da = xr.DataArray([1,2,4], dims=['x']) If I want to chunk the array I can do: python da.chunk({'x':1})

but I cant do this: python da.chunk(x=1)

TypeError: chunk() got an unexpected keyword argument 'x'

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to use the .chunk() method for dataarrays in both ways, since it is common for many xarray methods to work either way (e.g. isel()/coarsen()/etc).
