Other user-defined metadata attached to model variables #158

Open benbovy opened 4 years ago

It is already possible to add custom metadata to a model variable using xs.variable(attrs={...}).

However, it would be nice to be able to separate the metadata that is added to IO xarray datasets (primitive types) from the metadata that is used for other things (e.g., more advanced objects like ipywidgets or bokeh widgets).
