If this change goes through, the error message in diag_manager/diag_util.F90 at line 1356ff needs to be updated.

@thomas-robinson sorry I've been distracted by a lot of other projects. What are your thoughts? I proposed this because we kind of need 5d diagnostics (time, z, lat, lon, spectral dimension). Right now our only option is to create one variable per spectral dimension (band, wavenumber, gpoint, etc.), which as you can imagine leads to a very high number of diagnostics. Is there a better solution?

@menzel-gfdl Yes there is a plan to support more dimensions in the diag manager rewrite. Although the target is September, there is no guarantee that 5D support will be working by then. If this PR solves your problem more immediately, then why not take it now. I don't think there is a reason why this shouldn't be done.
