If I understand correctly, instead of writing xr.Dataset({'foo': ('x', data)}, {'x': range(len(data))}), you want to be able to write something like xr.Dataset({'foo': ('x', data)}, {'x': xr.AUTO_NUMBER})?

I agree that it's sometimes convenient to automatically get coordinates 0 to n-1, but using range() is also pretty convenient, so I'm not sure we really need this shortcut.
