Bloom Filter
============
This JavaScript bloom filter implementation uses the non-cryptographic
[Fowler–Noll–Vo hash function][1] for speed. In fact, the hash function only
needs to be called once per operation, as *n* hash functions can be simulated
using only two hash functions. And two 32-bit hash functions can be simulated
[using a single 64-bit hash function][2]!
