I think that is a very sensible proposal.  After all, the name
diff.compactionHeuristic only tells us what part of the diff process
the heuristic is used, and does not say anything about what the
heuristics does.  It is neutral between "take a blank as a hint" vs
"take indentation leveles as a hint".
