Make contains faster #4

Contains, as it stands, is an expensive routine. The default implementation in Link checks every page for the entry, and the Dict ones both always load one page minimum. For elements not in the structure, a hash based filter such as the Bloom Filter or the Cuckoo Filter (uses Cuckoo Hashing).

Will require this solution to make consistent hashes for list entries.
