pedantically, that's progress info (which you still see during
operation), and it looks a bit stupid as a summary, because every number
appears twice.

now, i'll admit that i find the verbose summary hard to parse myself, as
the numbers get kind of lost between the words. i just didn't have a
better idea ...

i suppose i could just use the progress format but without duplicating
the numbers. the meaning is already explained in the manual, so good
enough?

you can paypal me on this address. (prefer "friends and family"
transfer; marking it as a donation just makes paypal skim off some of
it.)
