Support for set_xindex?

[vasilisniaouris]

The set_xindex methods of DataArray and Dataset drop the units. Is there a way to add a pint.set_xindex functionality?

Edit:

I realized that I can not seem to initialize a dataarray with Quantity objects as dimensions to begin with. The dimensions objects always drop the units. I tried to create a pint set_xindex myself, but that was the bottleneck I run into. Am I doing something wrong, or quantity Indexes are indeed not supported in general?

sorry for the late reply here. As you noticed, quantity indexes are not yet supported in general, which is why we have workaround methods like .pint.sel and .pint.reindex.

I have tried to create a class that wraps other indexes in #163, but couldn't find the time to finish this up yet (so I guess this has stalled).

I also didn't yet figure out how you would use that special index class, so even if it was working I guess you'd have to call set_xindex before quantifying.
