I'm kinda-sorta still getting around to building/reading the sphinx docs for datarray. <_< Like, I've gone through them before, but it was more cursory than I'd like. Honestly, I kinda let myself get caught up in trying to automate the process of getting them onto github pages.
I have to admit that I didn't 100% understand the reasoning behind not allowing integer ticks (I blame jet lag--it's a nice scapegoat). I believe it originally had to do with what you meant if you typed, say, A[3:"london"]; Did you mean the underlying ndarray index 3, or the outer level "tick" 3? I think if you didn't allow integers, then you could simply wrap your "3" in a string: A["3":"London"] so it's probably not a deal-breaker, but I would imagine that using (a) separate method(s) for label-based indexing may make allowing integer-datatyped labels.
