That's still pretty easy to do with this -- you make your "distance oracle"
return 1 for two words that differ by a letter swap, and infinity for every
other case. You get the same results but it becomes trivial to add anything
else you want later.
If you're saying you can accomplish the points I was shooting for by
tweaking the existing mechanism, you are right; I am simply suggesting that
this route will be cleaner, saner and more future-proof in the end.
