Super excited for this! Just ran into a use-case today that it'll be great for.

nice! I'll try to get back to this tomorrow. I got a bit behind on development due to travel.

Are you able to share anything about the use-case? I'm supposed to demo this feature at our project wrap-up next week and if it's related to NASA data it could be a good collaboration opportunity.

Yeah happy to share a gist or w/e! It's just some subset of CMIP data, so I'm guessing not super great for a demo? But if it's helpful for debugging / real world testing of rectilinear chunk grids, can definitely share it.
