I don't like this. Not your patch, but rather the direction this whole thing took in the first place, and now we have to bolt extra complexity on top. I have the feeling this is not the best approach, especially since many long delta chains are going deep and all those intermediate objects are simply useless once the _only_ delta child has been resolved and therefore could be freed right away instead. But I have to sleep on it first.
