xray doesn't use or set unlimited dimensions. (It's pretty irrelevant for us, given that NumPy arrays can be stored in either row-major or column-major order.)

I see that xarray does not need UNLIMITED dimensions internally. But I need to create a netCDF file that I subsequently can append to (along the time dimension, in this case). Can this be done?
