Currently, to remove the label 'foo' from dimension x, you write: ds.drop('foo', dim='x').

What if, instead, you could write ds.drop(x='foo'), or to drop the label at integer position 0, ds.idrop(x=0)?

There is a nice potential symmetry here: we could make drop and idrop exactly mirror sel and isel, except that all the selected elements are removed instead. This could include single elements, arrays, boolean arrays and even slice objects.

Thoughts?
