So I'd propose changing the default value of the group argument to `'/'`, so the ZipStore (and probably also the other stores) will work by default as well.","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2586/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed,13221727,issue
