Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am trying to drop particular indices from a dimension that doesn't have coordinates.

Following: drop_sel() documentation, but leaving out the coordinate labels: python data = np.random.randn(2, 3) ds = xr.Dataset({"A": (["x", "y"], data)}) ds.drop_sel(y=[1]) gives me an error.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would think drop_isel should exist and work in analogy to drop_sel as isel does to sel.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As far as I know, I could either create coordinates especially to in order to drop, or rebuild a new dataset. Both are not congenial. (I'd be grateful to know if there is actually a straightforward way to do this I've overlooked.
