%N Number of integer compositions of n whose run-compression sums to 3.

%C We define the (run-) compression of a sequence to be the anti-run obtained by reducing each run of repeated parts to a single part. Alternatively, compression removes all parts equal to the part immediately to their left. For example, (1,1,2,2,1) has compression (1,2,1).
