My 2c. I imagine that in this case the consensus is going to be first:
- Move a minimum of the core functions of fuzzystrmatch and rename them
(str_distance?)
- Do not dump fuzzystrmatch and have the levenshtein call those functions
In any case levenshtein code needs a careful refactoring and some
additional thoughts first before the hint code is touched.
