> There are two implementation of levenshtein distance, unlimitedCompare and
> limitedCompare.
> I propose to generalise the levenshtein distance by adding an option to
> change the value of

> 3) Substitution of Character.
> Currently they are all set to 1. For backward compatibility this will be the
> default case.
