Description

Maybe an exported function Dataset instead of open_dataset would be better and if Dataset was used to read a Cube it could return a Dataset. This would be a bit more intuitive

and something like:
open_dataset(zopen(store, consolidated=true))

could be
Dataset(pat2file; kwg)

Research direction

Review the existing open_dataset and zopen entry points, along with the proposed Dataset(pat2file; kwg) call. Determine the intended behavior when Dataset reads a Cube and how the alternative API would preserve current options such as consolidated=true. Done means the API direction and compatibility expectations are explicitly decided.
