It seems counting has not implemented.How to remove the locations of a element from the bitmap?

@jameslastchina I don't think that's possible without a counting Bloom filter.

Yeah you wouldn't be able to remove an item without rebuilding the bitarray, which can be pretty expensive. So generally I don't think bloom filter data structures really have a delete method for that reason.
