I like ALR too but Pierre did not seem to agree. So I shortened the text and I 
felt that dropping "lossless" was better than dropping "automatic".

As stated earlier, this will happen at a later point in time. I believe in 
incremental software development and consider that a little something is better
than nothing at all, especially since the patch I've sent is able to cover a 
few use cases already.

I feel otherwise but do not care at all. I can make it the default if people 
feel like it. However the current patch shouldn't be used with mathematically 
lossless as it sends updates that are too big.
My proposal is to change the default in a future patch when I get around to 
implementing lossy region tracking, because at this point it will make sense 
technically.

I can replace the 10 with a -1 pretty easily, and you're right that it's 
better. Will do (unless the committer wants to do it directly).
I'm rather more annoyed by the 0-9 vs. 0-100 scale, which is a big difference 
between Turbo and Tiger and makes it difficult to move flawlessly from one to 
the other (but I don't have any plans to deal with it as I suspect it would 
already have been dealt with if it was easy and worth it).

Thanks for the comments
