//! HyperLogLog++ - Cardinality Estimation with Sparse/Dense Hybrid
//!
//! A probabilistic data structure for estimating the number of distinct elements
//! in a set with:
//! - O(1) update time per element
//! - O(1) cardinality query
//! - O(m) space where m = 2^precision (dense mode)
//! - O(k) space where k = distinct elements (sparse mode, for small cardinalities)
//! - Mergeable across time buckets
//!
//! Reference: HyperLogLog++ Paper (Google, 2013) https://research.google/pubs/pub40671/
//!
//! **Gap #2 Fix**: Implements sparse/dense hybrid representation from HLL++ paper.
//! Starts in sparse mode (BTreeMap), auto-converts to dense (Vec) when threshold reached.
//! This provides significant memory savings for low-cardinality sets.
//!
//! **Gap #6 Fix**: Now uses twox-hash (xxHash64) for proper 64-bit avalanche properties
//! and includes HLL++ empirical bias correction tables for small cardinalities.
