### Description
Currently, the [rate limiting documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/performance/rate-limit?view=aspnetcore-10.0#create-chained-limiters) shows a single example of creating chained limiters and **applying them at a global level**. But is it possible to do the same when adding a rate limiting **policy**?
I also found [this discussion](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/discussions/54051), but again, there does not seem to be an example of creating a policy (non-global) that uses chained limiters.
For example, given:
```
Microsoft.AspNetCore.RateLimiting.RateLimiterOptions options;
var limiters_array = new RateLimiter[ 2 ];
// limiters_array populated here (code omitted for brevity)
/*
The following will NOT work as the .AddPolicy method expects a
second argument of: Func>
*/
options.AddPolicy( "chained", RateLimiter.CreateChained( limiters_array) );
```
There does not seem to be an overload (or clear) way to create a policy that incorporates chained limiters.
I have not (yet) come across anything in the documentation that explicitly states something such as:
"_chained limiters are only available at a global level_"
but if that IS true, it should be added to the documentation.
If I missed something in the documentation, I apologize in advance, but do request a link to the relevant method or page that illustrates how to create a **policy** that uses chained limiters.
Thanks in advance.
