/-- Compactness criterion: a closed set of compact metric spaces is compact if the spaces have
a uniformly bounded diameter, and for all `ε` the number of balls of radius `ε` required
to cover the spaces is uniformly bounded. This is an equivalence, but we only prove the
interesting direction that these conditions imply compactness. -/

  /- Let `δ>0`, and `ε = δ/5`. For each `p`, we construct a finite subset `s p` of `p`, which
    is `ε`-dense and has cardinality at most `K n`. Encoding the mutual distances of points
    in `s p`, up to `ε`, we will get a map `F` associating to `p` finitely many data, and making
    it possible to reconstruct `p` up to `ε`. This is enough to prove total boundedness. -/
