Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Many of our methods allow the equivalent of .shift(foo=5), where foo is a dimension name.
But not .quantile! That requires .quantile(dim="foo", [0,0.5,1])
Describe the solution you'd like
I guess this is a missing thing rather than a deliberate choice, is that right?
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Review xarray's existing quantile API and the analogous dimension-keyword APIs such as shift. Determine the intended syntax and expected behavior for naming the quantile dimension, then verify that the quantile examples and relevant tests cover the new form.
