/* The basic idea is to consider two vectors as similar if, when
   transforming the first vector into the second vector through a
   sequence of edits (inserts and deletes of one element each),
   this sequence is short - or equivalently, if the ordered list
   of elements that are untouched by these edits is long.  For a
   good introduction to the subject, read about the "Levenshtein
   distance" in Wikipedia.

   The basic algorithm is described in:
   "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and its Variations", Eugene W. Myers,
   Algorithmica Vol. 1, 1986, pp. 251-266,
   <http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01840446>.
   See especially section 4.2, which describes the variation used below.

   The basic algorithm was independently discovered as described in:
   "Algorithms for Approximate String Matching", Esko Ukkonen,
   Information and Control Vol. 64, 1985, pp. 100-118,
   <http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0019-9958(85)80046-2>.  */

/* Before including this file, you need to define:
     ELEMENT                 The element type of the vectors being compared.
     EQUAL                   A two-argument macro that tests two elements for
                             equality.
     OFFSET                  A signed integer type sufficient to hold the
                             difference between two indices.  Usually
                             something like ptrdiff_t.
     EXTRA_CONTEXT_FIELDS    Declarations of fields for 'struct context'.
     NOTE_DELETE(ctxt, xoff) Record the removal of the object xvec[xoff].
     NOTE_INSERT(ctxt, yoff) Record the insertion of the object yvec[yoff].
     EARLY_ABORT(ctxt)       (Optional) A boolean expression that triggers an
                             early abort of the computation.
     USE_HEURISTIC           (Optional) Define if you want to support the
                             heuristic for large vectors.
   It is also possible to use this file with abstract arrays.  In this case,
   xvec and yvec are not represented in memory.  They only exist conceptually.
   In this case, the list of defines above is amended as follows:
     ELEMENT                 Undefined.
     EQUAL                   Undefined.
     XVECREF_YVECREF_EQUAL(ctxt, xoff, yoff)
                             A three-argument macro: References xvec[xoff] and
                             yvec[yoff] and tests these elements for equality.
