/**
 * An object which can send data from an object of type {@code T} into a {@code PrimitiveSink}.
 * Implementations for common 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());
 *     }
 *   }}
