/**
* 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 not contained in it, then this is definitely true.
*
* If you are unfamiliar with Bloom filters, this nice
* tutorial may help you understand
* how they work.
*
*
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}.
*
*
Bloom filters are serializable.
* 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 not be
* readable by a binary that was compiled 6 months ago).
