We may want to consider something like a progress metric for a few Xarray operations that we can't offload to third party libraries. I'm mostly thinking of xarray's combine/merge/concat functions as opportunities for Xarray to improve its user experience. Simply telling the user how a task like `open_mfdataset` is progressing could go a long way toward improving the user's toleration for slow/challenging dataset construction operations (e.g. #1385).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,606165039
