6 * Idea here is very simple.
8 * Almost all data we are interested in are text, but sometimes we have
9 * to deal with binary data. So we cut them into chunks delimited by
10 * LF byte, or 64-byte sequence, whichever comes first, and hash them.
12 * For those chunks, if the source buffer has more instances of it
13 * than the destination buffer, that means the difference are the
14 * number of bytes not copied from source to destination. If the
15 * counts are the same, everything was copied from source to
16 * destination. If the destination has more, everything was copied,
17 * and destination added more.
19 * We are doing an approximation so we do not really have to waste
20 * memory by actually storing the sequence. We just hash them into
21 * somewhere around 2^16 hashbuckets and count the occurrences.

27 /* We leave more room in smaller hash but do not let it
28 * grow to have unused hole too much.

32 /* A prime rather carefully chosen between 2^16..2^17, so that
33 * HASHBASE < INITIAL_FREE(17). We want to keep the maximum hashtable
34 * size under the current 2<<17 maximum, which can hold this many
35 * different values before overflowing to hashtable of size 2<<18.
