 * Has a probability of when placing new entries, placing them as MRU.
 *
 * Although both LRU and LIP can be seen as specific cases of BIP
 * where the bimodal throtle parameter are 1 and 0, respectively, we
 * decide not to inherit from it, and do the other way around (inherit
 * from LRU) for efficiency reasons.
