Hey @shoyer,

Sorry for the delayed response. Passing a list of dimensions over which to concatenate over seems like it would be the easiest workaround with the fewest questions asked. As you mentioned, every dimension gets a variable by the time it is a dataset, so another option (that I'll admit I haven't thought all the way through and may not even work) would be to first check if decode_cf is working on a Dataset or AbstractDataStore (e: which it already does anyway), and then decide whether to concatenate over a dimension or not. I could see the latter idea not working out so well, but I'd be curious about your thoughts.

Either way, I can put something together this week and open up a PR.
