Description

Would it make sense to have an AbstractAxisArray so one cuold create a custom type that inherits this behavior? I am trying to do something like wavespectra in Python, which builds on top of xarrays. Or is there a better way to do this? Seems like wrapping an AxisArray within a custom struct is redundant?

Research direction

Start by reading the current AxisArray type and its documented behavior in AxisArrays.jl, then compare that design with the custom-type and wrapping approaches described in the issue. Done would require a decided, documented way to support custom types that inherit AxisArray behavior, rather than leaving the question open.
