New stringmetric package

[nicolaasuni-vonage]

Description

A new stringmetric package was added to provide functions to calculate string metrics,
also known as string similarity metrics or string distance functions.

A string metric measures the distance ("inverse similarity") between two text strings
for approximate string matching, comparison, and fuzzy string searching.

The function DLDistance calculates the Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance between two strings.
It provides the distance between two strings as the minimum number of operations required to change one string into the other.
The operations include insertions, deletions, substitutions, and transpositions of two adjacent characters.
