Description

What is your issue?

(Follow-up to #7019)

When you create a dask graph of xarray operations, the tasks in the graph get useful names according the name of the DataArray they operate on, or whether they represent an open_dataset call.

Currently for cubed this doesn't work, for example this graph from https://github.com/pangeo-data/distributed-array-examples/issues/2#issuecomment-1533852877:

Research direction

Start by comparing the task names in the linked xarray/Dask graph example with how cubed currently names tasks for general chunk managers. Trace the graph construction and naming entry points, then verify that cubed tasks identify the DataArray they operate on or represent an open_dataset call.
