explain no adjustment needed for WF sims
From the email list: > I am unsure whether I need to adjust the mutation, recombination rate and Ne by the generation time when recapitating with pyslim and adding neutral mutations with msprime. I have read many times the section about time units mismatch in pyslim manual (https://tskit.dev/pyslim/docs/latest/time_units.html), but most of the examples are nonWF oriented.

## Coalescence, recombination, and migration rates in recapitation

*Note: this section is relevant for nonWF SLiM simulations:
79+
in a single-species WF simulation, one tick = one generation,
80+
so no adjustment is needed.*

If you recapitate with msprime, then the same issue occurs for coalescence rates.

This is less obvious, because "coalescence rate" is not an argument to msprime;
8084
rather, the coalescence rate in a given population
