Description
Just as there are map_blocks and map_overlap methods for Dask Array, it would be useful to have equivalent methods for Xarray objects. This would make it easier to leverage duck typing to work with both Dask Arrays and Xarray objects.
Edit: Should add this came up a few times at the recent SciPy sprints.

Research direction
Start by comparing the linked Dask Array map_blocks and map_overlap APIs with the corresponding Xarray object entry points. Clarify which Xarray objects and behaviors are in scope, then use those API expectations to define completion and verify duck-typed use cases.
