"""adjusters.py -- adjust the gathered Features

This is usually done to either modify to reduce the Features in some way.

For example:

 - TargetTimeAdjuster: drop Features until the target time is reached
 - FeatureCountAdjuster: drop Features until the target number of Features is reached

TODO: Consider eg a generic PredicateAdjuster -- supply a predicate/lambda that will be used to determine whether to keep a Feature or not.
