John, I mentioned on the VOTE thread that the proposed names are a bit
confusing,

In particular, TotalSum is, I think, a "running total", though the naming
doesn't really capture that.

I think to avoid confusion, we should define exactly what "total" and
"sampled" are supposed to indicate, and perhaps pick appropriate naming
from there.
