These changes allow me to make a pretty minimal subclass that just swaps out the `netCDF4.Dataset` class for my version:

```python
from xarray.backends.netCDF4_ import NetCDF4BackendEntrypoint, NetCDF4DataStore
from ._wrapper import Dataset  # This is my netCDF extension


class NcComplexDataStore(NetCDF4DataStore):
    @classmethod
    def DatasetClass(self) -> type:
        return Dataset


class NcComplexBackendEntrypoint(NetCDF4BackendEntrypoint):
    DataStore = NcComplexDataStore
