Description: Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native
'match' function. Can calculate various string distances based on edits
(damerau-levenshtein, hamming, levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q-
gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (jaro, jaro-winkler). An
implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between
character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer
vectors representing generic sequences.
