Research direction

Start by investigating the xarray documentation on ExtensionArray support and how geopandas exposes its GeometryArray. Determine whether GeometryArray can be used within xvec's index and define the behavior needed for support; the issue is complete when that feasibility and required scope are documented or implemented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I noticed that the latest xarray has some support of ExtensionArrays. Does that mean that we could use geopandas' GeometryArray within our index? The documentation is not super clear on what the support actually means.
