@stefanv I think coordinates "make more sense" (to me at least), but I value consistency more. This is how numpy indexing works (and various places within scipy) and I think we should follow that convention. That is, `start` and `end` should be valid indices or multi-indices into the array, which is not the case if they are lists of tuples.

@syedTabish don't write "similar to", write "following", "mirroring" or "matching" NumPy multi-indexing convention.
