/**
 * Not of interest for users; only for implementors of hashtables. Used to keep
 * hash table capacities prime numbers.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Choosing prime numbers as hash table capacities is a good idea to keep them
 * working fast, particularly under hash table expansions.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * However, JDK 1.2, JGL 3.1 and many other toolkits do nothing to keep
 * capacities prime. This class provides efficient means to choose prime
 * capacities.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Choosing a prime is <tt>O(log 300)</tt> (binary search in a list of 300
 * int's). Memory requirements: 1 KB static memory.
 * </p>
 * 
 * This class has been adapted from the corresponding class in the COLT
 * library for scientfic computing.

    /**
     * The prime number list consists of 11 chunks. Each chunk contains prime
     * numbers. A chunk starts with a prime P1. The next element is a prime P2.
     * P2 is the smallest prime for which holds: P2 >= 2*P1. The next element is
     * P3, for which the same holds with respect to P2, and so on.
     * 
     * Chunks are chosen such that for any desired capacity >= 1000 the list
     * includes a prime number <= desired capacity * 1.11 (11%). For any desired
     * capacity >= 200 the list includes a prime number <= desired capacity *
     * 1.16 (16%). For any desired capacity >= 16 the list includes a prime
     * number <= desired capacity * 1.21 (21%).
     * 
     * Therefore, primes can be retrieved which are quite close to any desired
     * capacity, which in turn avoids wasting memory. For example, the list
     * includes 1039,1117,1201,1277,1361,1439,1523,1597,1759,1907,2081. So if
     * you need a prime >= 1040, you will find a prime <= 1040*1.11=1154.
     * 
     * Chunks are chosen such that they are optimized for a hashtable
     * growthfactor of 2.0; If your hashtable has such a growthfactor then,
     * after initially "rounding to a prime" upon hashtable construction, it
     * will later expand to prime capacities such that there exist no better
     * primes.
     * 
     * In total these are about 32*10=320 numbers -> 1 KB of static memory
     * needed. If you are stingy, then delete every second or fourth chunk.
