Subject: PDS compression needs a new name - defoam? unfoam? degas? I  hope 
someone has a better idea!

The notion of "PDS compression" has a long and time honored
history... But then along came... well, actual compression!

As we all know, PDS compression has nothing to do with data
compression. All it does is rearrange the physical location of
members so as to eliminate the holes (foam? gas?) that has arisen between them.

Historically, we have called that "compression", but in this day and
age continuing to call it that no longer is an option.

Has anyone come up with a better term that I missed while not looking?
