When i look into the internal `xarray.concat` code, i also found it is impossible at present. To do this, some codes should be modified and i don't think this function extension is necessary to `xarray`.

I have a list of dataset with all same shaped array at different time, while each have a different coordinate. (Each dataset is centered in the tropical cyclone center, with a same radius width buffer.) I use xr.concat to concat them along time dimension, this function auto outer-joins coordinates, which makes the final dataset have a larger-shape, but i just want the original dataset shape. Any solution ?

I think this result with default argument is not reasonable enough, as this type conversion is not necessary in fact. Using `mask_and_scale=False` will maintain the variable in float32 and retain the `_FillValue` attribute of variable. However, what i want is mask but maintain the dtype in float32. Is it has possible bug in the internal of the `open_dataset` method ?
