One use case that comes up in xarray and pandas is support for indicating
indexing "modes". For example, when indexing with floating point numbers
it's convenient to be able to opt-in to approximate indexing, e.g.,
something like:
array.loc[longitude, latitude, method='nearest', tolerance=0.001]
Thanks to those who pointed out that using kwargs to specify modes of key
management is an obvious use case.
Ironically that example pushes me back to -1. It may look a lot like
xarray and pandas working, but that just means it should be in xarray
and/or pandas. It doesn't feel at all right for regular Python to be
muddling indices and modal parameters to something that isn't a function
call like that.
