I even have a simple test to demonstrate it.

My work has gotten to this point now, and I have some unit tests that happen to exercise this edge case.

On a somewhat related note, would a `allow_missing` feature be welcomed in `open_mfdataset()`? I have written up some code that expects a `concat_dim`, and a list of filenames. It will then pass to `open_mfdataset()` only the files (and corresponding concat_dim values) that exists, and then calls `reindex()` with the original concat_dim to have a nan-filled slab where-ever there was a missing file.

Any interest?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,305327479
