Distance module (Levenshtein, Jaro, Jaro-winkler)

Functions

jaro	Calculates the Jaro similarity between two strings. The returned value is between 0.0 and 1.0 (higher value means more similar).
jaro_winkler	Like Jaro but gives a boost to strings that have a common prefix.
levenshtein	Calculates the minimum number of insertions, deletions and substitutions required to change on string into the other.
levenshtein_against_vec	Calculates the levenshtein distance between a string and each string in a vector. Returns a vector of corresponding values.
