Can you add some more information to this description? Think about it like walking the user through the use-case like they are reading a book on the topic. THings such as:

  1. Moreso than just removing vectors already added to the index, what types of use-cases does this enable? (e.g. hybrid search, multi-valued keys, deletion, security label filtering, etc...

  3. What's a bitset and why would one use that primitive?

A section like this is where it's really important that we spell out the capabilities and potential here.
