Typically personal names, but can be any string:

   : (soundex "Hello World")
   -> "H464"

   : (soundex "Miller")
   -> "M460"

Note that PicoLisp comes with its own soundex function, used in database
applications. It uses a different algorithm however:

   : (ext:Snx "Hello World")
   -> "HLFRLT"

   : (ext:Snx "Miller")
   -> "MLR"
