/**
 * A Bloom filter for instances of {@code T}. A Bloom filter offers an approximate containment test
 * with one-sided error: if it claims that an element is contained in it, this might be in error,
 * but if it claims that an element is <i>not</i> contained in it, then this is definitely true.
 *
 * <p>If you are unfamiliar with Bloom filters, this nice
 * <a href="http://llimllib.github.com/bloomfilter-tutorial/">tutorial</a> may help you understand
 * how they work.
 *
 * <p>The false positive probability ({@code FPP}) of a bloom filter is defined as the probability
 * that {@linkplain #mightContain(Object)} will erroneously return {@code true} for an object that
 * has not actually been put in the {@code BloomFilter}.
 *
 * <p>Bloom filters are serializable. They also support a more compact serial representation via
 * the {@link #writeTo} and {@link #readFrom} methods. Both serialized forms will continue to be
 * supported by future versions of this library. However, serial forms generated by newer versions
 * of the code may not be readable by older versions of the code (e.g., a serialized bloom filter
 * generated today may <i>not</i> be readable by a binary that was compiled 6 months ago).
