Winkler | Winkler modifies a DistanceMetric 's distance to decrease the distance
between two strings, when their original distance is below some
threshold . The boost is equal to min(l, maxlength) * p * dist where l
denotes the length of their common prefix and dist denotes the original
distance. The Winkler adjustment was originally defined for the Jaro
similarity score but is here defined it for any distance.
