---------------------------------------
A nice Xmas present! +1
I think we should send Jean-Philippe some beers, too.
> extend LevenshteinAutomata to support transpositions as primitive edits

> This would be a nice improvement for spell correction: currently a
> transposition counts as 2 edits,
> which means users of DirectSpellChecker must use larger values of n (e.g. 2
> instead of 1) and
> larger priority queue sizes, plus some sort of re-ranking with another
> distance measure for good results.
> Instead if we can integrate "chapter 7" of
> http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.16.652
> then you can just build an alternative DFA where a transposition is only a
> single edit
> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance)
> According to the benchmarks in the original paper, the performance for LevT
> looks to be very similar to Lev.
> Support for this is now in moman (https://bitbucket.org/jpbarrette/moman/)
> thanks to Jean-Philippe
> Barrette-LaPierre.
