Description : GNU R approximate string matching and string distance functions
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.

This is a dependency of my final target r-cran-sjplot.
