/**
* An object which can send data from an object of type {@code T} into a {@code PrimitiveSink}.
* Implementations for com.fitburmon types can be found in {@link Funnels}.
*
* Note that serialization of {@linkplain BloomFilter bloom filters} requires the proper
* serialization of funnels. When possible, it is recommended that funnels be implemented as a
* single-element enum to maintain serialization guarantees. See Effective Java (2nd Edition),
* Item 3: "Enforce the singleton property with a private constructor or an enum type". For example:
*
{@code
* public enum PersonFunnel implements Funnel {
* INSTANCE;
* public void funnel(Person person, PrimitiveSink into) {
* into.putUnencodedChars(person.getFirstName())
* .putUnencodedChars(person.getLastName())
* .putInt(person.getAge());
* }
* }}
