More robust subsetting for periods #361
Description
Addressing a Problem?
In multiple functions, we use a periods argument to subset the Dataset. However we simply do ds_subset = ds.sel(time=slice(period[0], period[1])), which never checks that the entire period is contained within ds.
Potential Solution
A wrapper function in xs.utils that checks that the entire period is contained within ds, and raises an error if it doesn't.
Additional context
Linked to an issue in #360.
