It was mostly as an example. But specifically this was to give a public
api for something internal.

I was mostly describing Robert's hesitation about using a class member
as a default, versus a constant.

Robert has basically said that class level constants are okay, but they
should be accessed through the class
(KnitVersionedFile._max_delta_chain). But class level defaults should be
set inside of __init__()
