Code Sample,

```python

Your code here

import numpy import xarray

class MyDataArray(xarray.DataArray): pass

da = MyDataArray(numpy.arange(5)) da2 = xarray.zeros_like(da) print(type(da), type(da2))

```

Problem description

I would expect that type(da2) is type(da), but this is not the case. The type of da is always <class 'xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray'>. Rather, the output of this script is:

<class '__main__.MyDataArray'> <class 'xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray'>

Expected Output

I would hope as an output:

<class '__main__.MyDataArray'> <class '__main__.MyDataArray'>

In principle changing this could break people's code, so if a change is implemented it should probably be through an optional keyword argument to the full_like/ones_like/zeros_like family.
