Actually, I think this test passes in this version?

It still doesn't pass on my linux machine :(

Indeed, concat does not currently preserve the order of all variables (yet). But at least we can make it non-stochastic.

You could probably do this by consolidating the two loops over all variables. But up to you if you want to go through the trouble.

Agreed, this is the better approach. Thanks for diving into this! |

Alternatively, it looks like the issue is on line 266 where we iterate This has the advantage of preserving the set, which is important if there is a very large number of variables. |

Ok, done. The second problem about the coordinate variable seems trickier to solve though... |

@shoyer could you elaborate on that? If there's a way to make it right I am happy to try, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what is the way to go. |

OK, I'm just going to merge this. We can iterate on this more later. |

Alternative (and much easier) implementation to #1048
The problem with the coordinate variables remains the same
