  Description     : Go package implementing Bloom filters


Bloom filters are representations of a set of n items, where the main
requirement is to make membership queries; i.e., whether an item is a
member of a set. They are frequently used as a filter to determine if
there's a chance a key is present in a much larger set of keys which
could not be kept in memory.

This package implements a bloom filter based on the FNV hash function
(hash/fnv) from the Go base package.
