@martinjuckes Good point. The auxiliary coordinate is indeed a better fit than flag constructions. That being the case, I think I have to side with @JimBiardCics that `string x(x)` strikes me as the most straightforward and user-friendly way to construct that auxiliary coordinate, and it seems reasonable to allow it.
(It seems like a lot of people would be opposed, so I won't propose allowing string-valued dimension coordinate variables, but I do think that would be an even simpler solution.) -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
