+ // 481–493 (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/198429.198435).
+ //
+ // A high-level overview of "Algorithm L":
+ // 0) Pre-calculate the random count greater than the storage size when
+ // an exemplar will be replaced.
+ // 1) Accept all measurements offered until the configured storage size is
+ // reached.
+ // 2) Loop:
+ // a) When the pre-calculate count is reached, replace a random
+ // existing exemplar with the offered measurement.
+ // b) Calculate the next random count greater than the existing one
+ // which will replace another exemplars
+ //
+ // The way a "replacement" count is computed is by looking at `n` number of
+ // independent random numbers each corresponding to an offered measurement.
+ // Of these numbers the smallest `k` (the same size as the storage
+ // capacity) of them are kept as a subset. The maximum value in this
+ // subset, called `w` is used to weight another random number generation
+ // for the next count that will be considered.
+ //
+ // By weighting the next count computation like described, it is able to
+ // perform a uniformly-weighted sampling algorithm based on the number of
+ // samples the reservoir has seen so far. The sampling will "slow down" as
+ // more and more samples are offered so as to reduce a bias towards those
+ // offered just prior to the end of the collection.
+ //
+ // This algorithm is preferred because of its balance of simplicity and
+ // performance. It will compute three random numbers (the bulk of
+ // computation time) for each item that becomes part of the reservoir, but
+ // it does not spend any time on items that do not. In particular it has an
+ // asymptotic runtime of O(k(1 + log(n/k)) where n is the number of
+ // measurements offered and k is the reservoir size.
+ //
+ // See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling for an overview of
+ // this and other reservoir sampling algorithms. See
