  Given a set of objects, floating proportions aims to efficiently give the
  proportional 'activity' of a single item as compared to the whole set. Where
  'activity' is a measure of a temporal property of the items.

  It is efficient in that it need not inspect any other items of the set
  in order to provide the answer. It is not even needed to know how many
  other items there are.

  It has one parameter, and that is the period of 'time' over which the
  'activity' is measured.
