I had this initially but I found myself getting confused during development
because I had to recall each time "if it's not contig reclaim, what is it?" -
It could be either compaction or single. I decided to spell it out
because it was easier to understand but I can switch back if necessary.

Similar reasoning - even though I'm not doing anything with the information,
I found it easier to understand if it was spelled out.
