  /- As the target space of F is countable, it suffices to show that two points
    `p` and `q` with `F p = F q` are at distance `≤ δ`.
    For this, we construct a map `Φ` from `s p ⊆ p.rep` (representing `p`)
    to `q.rep` (representing `q`) which is almost an isometry on `s p`, and
    with image `s q`. For this, we compose the identification of `s p` with `fin (N p)`
    and the inverse of the identification of `s q` with `fin (N q)`. Together with
    the fact that `N p = N q`, this constructs `Ψ` between `s p` and `s q`, and then
    composing with the canonical inclusion we get `Φ`. -/
