I think that manual_combine and auto_combine (or combine_auto etc.) are pretty suitable.

Any variation on concat is a little misleading because these functions will also merge. Anything with nested or multi is kind of superfluous when the idea of the library is sort of that multi-dimensional operations are as easy as single-dimensional operations.

combine (dictionary definition: to join or merge to form a single unit or substance) does accurate describe what the functions do.

If we use combine_auto and combine_manual then it simplifies the deprecation cycle because we can have the old auto_combine and the new combine_auto in the API simultaneously (though maybe that's too confusing).
