+/// A coupon encodes a (slot, value) pair derived from hashing an input.
+///
+/// Format: `[value (6 bits) << 26] | [slot (26 bits)]`
+///
+/// The slot identifies an HLL register (derived from the lower bits of the 
hash),
+/// and the value represents the number of leading zeros plus one (from the 
upper bits).
+///
+/// Pre-computing coupons is useful when the same logical value must be 
inserted into
+/// multiple independent sketches, because the (relatively expensive) hash 
step is paid
+/// only once.  A common pattern is dictionary-encoded data: compute the 
coupon for each
+/// term id up front, cache it, and then call 
[`HllSketch::update_with_coupon`] for
+/// each per-bucket sketch rather than calling [`HllSketch::update`] 
repeatedly with the
+/// decoded string.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use datasketches::hll::{HllSketch, HllType, Coupon};
+/// let c = Coupon::from_hash("hello");
+///
+/// let mut sketch1 = HllSketch::new(10, HllType::Hll8);
+/// let mut sketch2 = HllSketch::new(12, HllType::Hll8);
+/// sketch1.update_with_coupon(c);
+/// sketch2.update_with_coupon(c);
+///
+/// assert!(sketch1.estimate() >= 1.0);
+/// assert!(sketch2.estimate() >= 1.0);
