    Concatenate arrays along an existing axis

    Given a sequence of dask Arrays form a new dask Array by stacking them
    along an existing dimension (axis=0 by default)

    Parameters
    ----------
    seq: list of dask.arrays
    axis: int
        Dimension along which to align all of the arrays. If axis is None,
        arrays are flattened before use.
    allow_unknown_chunksizes: bool
        Allow unknown chunksizes, such as come from converting from dask
        dataframes.  Dask.array is unable to verify that chunks line up.  If
        data comes from differently aligned sources then this can cause
        unexpected results.

    Examples
    --------

    Create slices

    >>> import dask.array as da
    >>> import numpy as np

    >>> data = [da.from_array(np.ones((4, 4)), chunks=(2, 2))
    ...          for i in range(3)]

    >>> x = da.concatenate(data, axis=0)
    >>> x.shape
    (12, 4)

    >>> da.concatenate(data, axis=1).shape
    (4, 12)

    Result is a new dask Array
