OK. I liked it a little more specific, but perhaps users really don't
care what's going on. And it seems there is some support of simply
"compressing", so that's probably reasonable.

I think that is going to make the statistics line doubly confusing,
though, since we never even use the word "delta" (or any wacky
verbifications based on it), and then they get a line about numbers of
new and reused deltas.
