Addresses issue #3894 by providing a public API for selecting multiple variables that always returns a Dataset (unlike
__getitem__) and accepts sequence types including tuples. This eliminates the need to convert tuples to lists when subsetting variables and provides better type stability for downstream code.Unlike using
__getitem__with a list, an explicit method is more discoverable through IDE autocomplete and documentation.whats-new.rstapi.rst
