Second countability of fibre bundles #
A fibre bundle with second-countable base and model fibre has second-countable total space.
This allows metrizability results for manifolds to apply to finite-dimensional vector bundles,
including normal bundles. Over a second-countable base, countably many of the preferred
trivializations trivializationAt cover the base
(TauCeti.FiberBundle.exists_iUnion_baseSet_trivializationAt_eq_univ); this is how
measurability of sections is tested chart by chart.
