Using something like `combined.set_index(spectrum=['band', 'wn'])` or  `xr.concat(arrays, dim={'spectrum': ['band', 'wn']})` would be nice, although it may be a bit weird to use the key `spectrum` to rename the `wn` dimension here.

For now, I'm fine with setting the MultIndex using the more explicit - though more verbose - `combined.set_index(wn=['band', 'wn']).rename({'wn': 'spectrum'})`

``` python
arrays = [ds['data_band%d' % i].rename({'wn_band%d' % i: 'wn'}).assign_coords(band=i)
          for i in range(1, 4)]
combined = xr.concat(arrays, dim='wn')
```

This would still need some work (e.g., with `set_index` #1028) to set the MultiIndex. Ideally, maybe you could write something like `combined.set_index(spectrum=['band', 'wn'])` to create the new dimension and MultiIndex all at once.

It does seem like something like the `key` argument to `pandas.concat` would make sense here:
http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/merging.html#more-concatenating-with-group-keys

The API is not so obvious for us, though, because we need to supply the new dimension name and levels all at once. Maybe something like `xr.concat(arrays, dim={'spectrum': ['band', 'wn']}` would work.
