  Description     : Calculate various string metrics efficiently

The library provides efficient implementations of various strings metric
algorithms. It works with strict Text values.
.
The current version of the package implements:
.
  * Levenshtein distance
  * Normalized Levenshtein distance
  * Damerau-Levenshtein distance
  * Normalized Damerau-Levenshtein distance
  * Hamming distance
  * Jaro distance
  * Jaro-Winkler distance
  * Overlap coefficient
  * Jaccard similarity coefficient

This package is required for latest upstream version of haskell-stack.

This package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Haskell
Group.
