 * \file universal-system.h
 *
 * \author Lubos Slovak <lubos.slovak@nic.cz>
 *
 * This file provides interface to a 2-universal system of hash functions that
 * hash from 32-bit unsigned integer to a 32-bit unsigned integer within a given
 * range. The range is always a power of two and is given by the exponent (see
 * function us_hash().
 *
 * Before using the system, it must be initialized by calling us_initialize().
 * The system stores 2 sets (generations), each of US_FNC_COUNT functions.
 * For generating a new set of coeficients (i.e. hash functions) use the
 * us_next() function.
 *
 * For hashing use the us_hash() function.
 *
 * \todo What if all numbers are tried and still need rehash?
 *       (that means 2mld rehashes - we can probably live with that ;)
 * \todo Consider counting generations from 0, will be easier!
 * \todo Check out some better random number generator.
 *
 * \addtogroup hashing
