According to the documentation of cat it should be possible to call it with an iterable of dimensions so that the "the positions along these dimensions are increased
simultaneously for each input array, filling with zero elsewhere. This allows one to construct
block-diagonal matrices as cat(matrices...; dims=(1,2)), and their higher-dimensional analogues."
We should try to adhere to this interface and I am wondering whether we would need to have a new type ConcatBlockDiskArray to overload the writeblock and readblock functions.
This part of the cat interface is used for example in DimensionalData. Therefore we can't currently use cat of a DiskArray backed AbstractDimArray.
