I don't love the non-descriptive nature of `combine_auto` and `combine_manual`. All ""auto"" and ""manual"" tells me is that one is more automatic than the other, without saying *how* it's more automatic. This is probably even more confusing because we used ""auto"" previously to mean some hybrid behavior between what we now call ""manual"" and ""auto"".

What about calling these `combine_by_coords` and `combine_nested` instead? On `open_mfdataset`, these would be `combine='by_coords'` and `combine='nested'`.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,391865060

I think this is a good idea. We can deprecate the old auto_combine but keep it around for now to enable a smooth transition.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,391865060

Some other possibilities:

- Instead of `manual_combine`: `concat_nd`, `concat_nested`, `multi_concat`
- Instead of `auto_combine`:`assemble`, `reassemble`, `combine_sorted`, `concat_sorted`, `unify`

I guess `auto`/`manual` works well with the values of the keyword argument, and makes it clear that these are a different class of operation than the primitive `concat` and `merge`. Though if we really want to emphasize the similarity (especially to help auto-complete), we might consider even switching the order of the  words, e.g., `combine_auto` and `combine_manual`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,391865060
