//
// The time complexity of the operations Len, Insert, Remove and Has
// is in O(n) but in practice those methods are faster and more
// space-efficient than equivalent operations on sets based on the Go
// map type.  The IsEmpty, Min, Max, Clear and TakeMin operations
// require constant time.

// - Add InsertAll(...int), RemoveAll(...int)

//
// TODO(adonovan): implement Dense, a dense bit vector with a similar API.
// The space usage would be proportional to Max(), not Len(), and the
