CDR3 convergence

I think we need to think again about how to compute the convergence and how useful it is in the context of single cell data.
In our example dataset, it appears so occur at negligible rates and doesn't make sense to be visualized as a barplot.
Finally, I believe it measures something similar as TCR-dist.

Ideas:

• Create a single value measure (like singlet rate).
• Rather show on UMAP than as bar plot?

The CDR3 convergence is currently hidden from the public API, but the preliminary code is still in _plotting._cdr_convergence.

In any case, it can be computed with tl.clip_and_count - no additional tool needed.

not sure if this is actually true...

Anyway, to some extent this is now possible by comparing the clonotype definitions based on nucleotides and amino acids.
Could still be wrapped in a nice tool.

I still need to think, though, if it's best to rely on the clonotype-definitions for that or do it independently of that.

Maybe we could offer a tool that accepts a pair of clonotype definitions (nt-based and aa-based by default) and returns the convergence from the first to the second. The user could then choose to use it as a measure of convergence of nts to aas or aas to alignment-based groups. I would not make it independent of the clonotype definition tool.

that's a great idea! way more flexible and also allows e.g. to compare
alignment to identity
