set nhood size (1-9);

The new neighbourhood will preserve as much as possible of the old neighbourhood wiring. If the new neighbourhood is bigger, the wiring at the extra pseudo-neighbourhood indices is set as regular 1d or 2d with periodic boundary conditions.

If a rule scheme has been set (see #13), the existing rule table (or part of it if the new neighbourhood size is smaller) will be preserved Any excess rule table entries are set to 0.
