Feature Request: it would be nice to offer the option to concatenate along the "record" or "unlimited" dimension, as nc4 calls it, almost always "time" #103

This would also hopefully allow for it to show up in panoply properly with multiple granules in different locations at once

Yea you're already consulting umm-var in L2SS anyway I think. You could reliably get the record dimension from there, or from the netcdf itself if it's a good one

This feature request is the use-case that stitchee (https://github.com/nasa/stitchee) is designed for; stitchee concatenates netCDF data files along an existing dimension, such as the record/unlimited dimension. Note that stitchee tackles the concatenation process by leaning on xarray's concatenation functions, in contrast to concise, which has a more elaborate method of performing parallel read/writes.
