dilated vs enlarged #1002

Description

@sbello

Anna and I have been discussing dilated terms in the MP and how this relates to enlarged and abnormal size.

In general we propose that:
dilated be used only for the lumen of an anatomical entity and not with the tissue around the space/lumen or any solid tissue
enlarged be used only for solid tissue

This would mean the existing pattern should be used only with Uberon terms that are descendants of anatomical space.

We would like to add a new pattern using the following eq for terms where Uberon does not have an anatomical space term
'has_part' some ('dilated' and ('characteristic_of' some ('anatomical space' and 'luminal space of' some %s) and ('has_modifier' some 'abnormal'))

If others are okay. I'll put together a new pattern.

See mgijax/mammalian-phenotype-ontology#4179 for more notes based on MP terms
