    I see that there is
    World.CalculateDistance to find the distance between a collider and the (closest / all) colliders in the world.
    But, is there a way to find the distance between two specific colliders given their transforms?

    Similar to Physics.ComputePenetration() or Collider.ClosestPoint ?

    Collider.CalculateDistance
    For example if you have colliderA, colliderB with transformA, transformB respectively, then you can call colliderA.CalculateDistance with ColliderDistanceInput.Collider = colliderB and ColliderDistanceInput.Transform = transformA^-1 * transformB
