DOC: chunks=True

[jakirkham]

h5py has support for automatically picking an appropriate size of chunks based on the type and shape if chunks is set to True. Would be nice if similar behavior could be provided in Zarr.

Edit: This is already supported. It just needs to be documented.

Oops 😳. Missed that.

Should we change this to a doc issue then?

[alimanfoo]

Yes good idea, I hadn't got around to documenting.
