   @aherbert 
   
   Cell is a standard term in the literature.  I am preparing two more pull 
requests.  
   
   1. A stable Bloom filter (weird beast) that acts sorta like a counting Bloom 
filter with random deletions.
   2. Another implementation of counting Bloom filter that uses the core 
classes from stable Bloom filter to implement counting Bloom filters that can 
use from 1 to 32 bits (1 is a bit ridiculous but it is supported).
   
   Both the new counting implementation and the stable Bloom filter are 
dependant upon a CellManager class and some supporting classes.  I could 
present the pull requests in either order, the first one being largish (like 
the layerd change) with the second being a couple of classes for the specific 
implementation. 
   
   I can update the current counting Bloom filter with the term "cell", but I 
would like to keep the terminology.  I thought I had change the method name to 
`getMaxCount`, I'll figure out where that change went.
   
   Would you be amenable to updating the documentation to refer to cell when we 
have "bits" that are values more than bits?
