Description

The term "Section"[ is used](https://ipld.io/specs/transport/car/carv1/#format-description) to describe the repeated `` format that collectively make up the Data portion of a CAR file.

Use terminology consistent with docs in code to avoid confusion.
Example inconsistent terminology, where the term "block" is used to refer to a "Section":
