Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-chunk#refsect1-
function.array-chunk-description
---

The text says "Chunks an array into size large chunks".  I don't think this is 
correct.  I think it actually "Chunks an array into chunks each of which has 
size elements."

e.g. if I have an array with 100 items, and I say array_chunk($input, 5) then 
the function will, I think, return 20 arrays each with 5 elements.  The text as 
is currently written would therefore read "Chunks an array into 5 large chunks".  
This is not true: there are 20 chunks, not 5.  "Chunks an array into chunks each 
of which has 5 elements."

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Reworded, worth noting that there is a more precise description for return values, I think we were DRY'ing ... still, reworded ...
