New submission from Terry J. Reedy <[email protected]>:
Expose and document the junk and popular sets as attributes of the
SequenceMatcher object.
self.junk = junk
self.popular = popular
Deprecate the then unneeded and undocumented isbjunk and isbpopular functions,
currently defined as
self.isbjunk = junk.__contains__
self.isbpopular = popular.__contains__
(and slightly modify the matcher function that localizes and uses one of the
above).
Question, (how) do we document deprecation/removal of undocumented function?
In discussions that included Tim Peters, the idea of exposing the tuning
parameters of the heuristic was discussed. Now that the heuristic can be turned
off, I think this is YAGNI until someone specifically requests it.
