questions about sourmash gather and prefetch output `avg_abund` and `match_bp`

From sourmash gather command line output, what is avg_abund? (I believe this is average_abund in the gather csv output). Is it the depth of coverage of matching hashes between query and subject?

In the csv output of prefetch, I understand intersect_bp to the the approximate number of base pairs shared between query and subject. what is match_bp?

thanks @ezherman ;). I clearly need to do a sweep of the issues again, since we've updated the docs quite a bit!
