Now that there’s a native `merge` function for `fluid.dataset~`, is there any intention to adding a, um, `concat` function?

It seems like quite a useful thing, to be able to concatenate several datasets which may have had their own separate processing chains (standardization vs robust scaling vs PCA vs etc…).

I’m using the abstraction posted by @weefuzzy here ages ago, but being able to do it natively would be better/easier.
