Clarify use of "chain sizes and lengths" #152

Closed jamesmbaazam closed 7 months ago

jamesmbaazam commented 10 months ago

There is often a mention of "chain sizes and lengths" - please explain the difference to users (and developers) if there is one. For example, when mentioning "a vector of chain sizes and lengths", the meaning is unclear - is it a single vector, and "size" and "length" are interchangeable, or is it two different vectors? Is the 'length' the same as the diameter of a network?
