What do I call the function that computes a dmat on a generation and summarizes the dmat and add in the identifiers? #123

Only two things in computer science is hard. cache invalidation and naming things.

dmat_dsum_gen process_gen dproc_gen (distance process generation)

summarize_gen? this will go with summarize_dmat? And it leaves room for adding in other non-distance metrics?

this function is a little sucky since many arguments just gets passed through it for the sole intent of squishing ithem into the result list.

What is the purpose of this function?

You feed it a generation and then it computes all the metrics on it and produces all the summaries.

Now here is a small issue in that this adds another dimension into the return value of sim_proc_many_pops that I have not planned for. Can I add in this concept but then restrict the output to just a dsum. Deadlines will really punuish me if I try to build in all this functionality now.

I think the next step is to update the design vignette to reflect this new complication
