Description

https://github.com/Claudenw/commons-collections/blob/9f2945cc98747893456b73f42ab53f46a866ac37/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/collections4/bloomfilter/BloomFilter.java#L51

 
As with IndexProducer this could be replaced with a characteristics flag:

 
int characteristics();
Currently the only characteristic is sparse. Are there any other characteristics to report that may be of use? This would allow them to be added without adding more methods to the interface.
