       This module implements the Levenshtein edit distance in a XS way.

       The Levenshtein edit distance is a measure of the degree of proximity between two strings.  This distance
       is the number of substitutions, deletions or insertions ("edits") needed to transform one string into the
       other one (and vice versa).  When two strings have distance 0, they are the same.  A good point to start
       is: <http://www.merriampark.com/ld.htm>

        use Text::LevenshteinXS qw(distance);

        print distance("foo","four");
        # prints "2"

        print distance("foo","bar");
        # prints "3"
