Can I remove this?

Features that look useful but are actually meaningless (in my opinion).

• arg keep_parent_ref in provenance and provenance_multiple_parents

• arpes.exceptions : pragmatically, it has not been used. And I don't think the own class for exception is good idea.

• file loading by numbers alone, and without the location arg.

  • Currently, it is said that pyarpes tries to guess the location. However, there is no way to check whether the guess is correct or not, which may lead to the wrong analysis.
  • While load by number alone seems to be "elegant", but actually writing a function converting the appropriate file which depends on the situation from the number.

• src/arpes/utilities/image.py

  • In certain special situations, this may be a meaningful function. However, as a practical matter, direct reading of image data is not likely to produce meaningful data (data that can be used in a paper).

• src/arpes/optics.py

  • This should not be included in pyarpes, because it is not closely related to arpes analysis.

• to_arrays in xarray_extensions.py

  • Too simple function. Only the burden of administration.

• mean_annotation and sum_annotation

  • They are not one that we should bother to implement.

• degrees_of_freedom and spectrum_degrees_of_freedom

  • This is just xarray.dim

• src/arpes/utilities/transform.py

From my perspective, I have never used any of the mentioned features.
