Here is what it currently looks like to assign values to indices in xarray
(adapted from a tutorial):

ds["empty"].loc[dict(lon=5, lat=6)] = 10

This could be changed to:

ds["empty"][lon=5, lat=6] = 10

This becomes even a bigger advantage if we include slicing, which I think
we should:

ds["empty"].loc[dict(lon=slice(1, 5), lat=slice(3, None))] = 10

to

ds["empty"][lon=1:5, lat=6:] = 10
