Currently it seems to suggest that sorting, alignment and the addition of new data variables are not supported, whereas I think all these can occur with compat='no_conflicts'. Yep, with `compat='no_conflicts'` and recent align updates to concat, we are most of the way there on alignment. It still can fail if there are different variables on datasets across the concatenated dimension, but that will be fixed when we get concat to handle different variables (#508). At that point, we might want to switch the logic from the current ""concatenate by variable group, then merge"" to ""merge by unique coordinates, then concatenate"".
