594688816 MDU6SXNzdWU1OTQ2ODg4MTY= 3939 Why don't we allow indexing with keyword args via __call__? 35968931 closed 0     4 2020-04-05T22:44:18Z 2020-04-09T05:14:46Z 2020-04-09T05:14:46Z MEMBER      

Reading about PEP472, which would have allowed indexing with keyword arguments like python da[x=10] made me wonder: why don't we use __call__ to get the same effect but just with curved brackets instead of square ones? i.e. python da(x=10) We don't currently use __call__ on DataArray or Dataset for anything else.

I presume there is some good reason why this design decision was taken, but I'm just wondering what it is.

(Also has the ship permanently sailed on PEP472 now?)
