I think I see your point @takluyver — that by returning the new axes at the end it's both surprising and no longer a contiguous array.

But then +1 re your final point about unstack being unable to return a view on missing data.

I don't think it's impossible to carefully manage the dimensions order & contiguous-ness in this case. It may take someone who can champion it, though
