The basic idea is to consider two vectors as similar if, when
transforming the first vector into the second vector through a
sequence of edits (inserts and deletes of one element each),
this sequence is short - or equivalently, if the ordered list
of elements that are untouched by these edits is long. For a
good introduction to the subject, read about the "Levenshtein
distance" in Wikipedia.
The basic algorithm is described in:
"An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and its Variations", Eugene Myers,
Algorithmica Vol. 1 No. 2, 1986, pp. 251-266;
see especially section 4.2, which describes the variation used below.
The basic algorithm was independently discovered as described in:
"Algorithms for Approximate String Matching", E. Ukkonen,
Information and Control Vol. 64, 1985, pp. 100-118.
Unless the 'find_minimal' flag is set, this code uses the TOO_EXPENSIVE
heuristic, by Paul Eggert, to limit the cost to O(N**1.5 log N)
at the price of producing suboptimal output for large inputs with
many differences. */

fstrcmp - fuzzy string compare
SYNOPSIS
double fstrcmp(const char *, const char *);
DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp function may be used to compare two string for
similarity. It is very useful in reducing "cascade" or
"secondary" errors in compilers or other situations where
symbol tables occur.
RETURNS
double; 0 if the strings are entirly dissimilar, 1 if the
strings are identical, and a number in between if they are
similar. */
