7 * This API is similar to sha1-array, in that it maintains a set of object ids
8 * in a memory-efficient way. The major differences are:
10 * 1. It uses a hash, so we can do online duplicate removal, rather than
11 * sort-and-uniq at the end. This can reduce memory footprint if you have
12 * a large list of oids with many duplicates.
14 * 2. The per-unique-oid memory footprint is slightly higher due to hash
15 * table overhead.

36 * Returns 1 if the oid was already in the set, 0 otherwise. This can be used
37 * to perform an efficient check-and-add.
