Actually, this is a very common procedure in phylogenetic analyses, where
multiple genes/loci are combined into a "super" matrix for a set of taxa.
Although, in this case, adding by column, if a taxon/row/identifier was missing
in a particular (sub-)alignment it would be filled by "-" (missing data) in the
combined matrix.

Anyway, I think this would be a very useful enhancement.
