It should be possible to easily convert back and forth between Datasets and DataArrays that consist of each variable in a Dataset stacked along a "variable" dimension.

The implementation for to_array should be mostly equivalent to DataArray.from_series(ds.to_dataframe().stack()), although for performance reasons we probably don't actually want to convert everything into intermediate representations as pandas object.

Similarly, to_dataset(dimension) would be roughly equivalent to Dataset.from_dataframe(array.to_series().stack(dimension)).
