Except that from time to time you need a level 0, which is big. Switching to
pure-incremental doesn't help, since then you (a) need to keep the initial
level 0 forever and (b) restore will be painful since you have to go throughall
incrementals.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
