Now that the "short sentinel" idea is sort of dead, perhaps it could
be resurrected by "sentinel compression"? New sentinels would *always*
be of the current kind, but old sentinels would be short (single
running base64 index, without table).

Compressing a @thin file would never be automatic - rather, it's a
ceremony to be performed when all the branches to be merged to it have
been merged in (e.g. after a release), usually by a single person
(e.g. in Leo, Edward would be the only one with the authority to
compress sentinels... apart from plugins that have a different
maintainer).

This may also be beneficial because it provides a visual clue about "new" nodes.
