I've been testing a backend engine that merges many groups into 1 dataset (dims/coords/variables renamed slightly to avoid duplicate names until they've been interpolated together) using `h5py`.

Getting the groups are like the first thing you have to do, the code would look something like this:
```python
>>> f = h5py.File('foo.hdf5','w')
>>> f.name
'/'
>>> list(f.keys())
[]
```
https://docs.h5py.org/en/stable/high/group.html

Sure, it can be quite tiresome to navigate the backend engines and 3rd party modules in xarray to add this. But most of them uses h5py or something quite similar at its core so it shouldn't be THAT bad.

For example one could add another method here that retrieves them in a quick and easy way:
