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