> Replace references to off-heap space compaction with *defragmentation*, to better convey the intent behind the operation. 
> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Memory_Management/Memory_Compacting defines compaction: ". . .the process of moving allocated objects together, and leaving empty space together."  We do not move allocated chunks, so implying we do is misleading. 
> At the very least, all outward facing statistics and any other UI should be renamed to refer to defragmentation and defragment instead of compaction and compact.
