It may be my fault for reading the interdiff, which didn't include that
comment. I was literally just thinking something like:

  /*
   * Return the size of the object without doing any delta
   * reconstruction (so non-deltas are true object sizes, but
   * deltas return the size of the delta data).
   */

OK. If it's too painful to construct a good example, don't worry about
it.  It sounds like we're unlikely to get full coverage anyway.

I didn't get to it today, but I'll try to give it a careful read. There
are quite a few corners of pack-objects I don't know well, but I think
at this point I may be the most expert of remaining people. Scary. :)
