Didn't we already have a plan to move out the evaluation stuff? Btw., there are also similarity functions in the module. Putting those in a "distance" module seems a bit strange, so I suggest we just keep the name for at least the distance stuff. (I know "metric" is the mathematician's term for distance, but "similarity metric" is common enough, I think.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
