//! Levenshtein distance calculation for string similarity.
//!
//! Returns the number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions, substitutions)
//! required to transform `s1` into `s2`.
//!
//! # Complexity
//!
//! The time complexity of the algorithm is O(n * m), where n and m are the lengths of the two strings.
//! The space complexity is O(n * m), as we need to store the entire dynamic programming table.
