    :)
    as cover letter says hash type was moved from this set to
    later series, so it's implemented.
    array and radix-tree are implemented as well, but not ready for
    review yet. I have strong use cases for them.
    Even two of the simplest examples for tracing (ex2 and ex3)
    will benefit from 'array' type.
    For bloomfiler type Chema had a strong use case as well.
    I was assuming he will implement it sooner or later ;)
    But, surely, I can drop future features from the manpage.
