// Package stringclassifier finds the nearest match between a string and a set of known values. It
// uses the Levenshtein Distance (LD) algorithm to determine this. A match with a large LD is less
// likely to be correct than one with a small LD. A confidence percentage is returned, which
// indicates how confident the algorithm is that the match is correct. The higher the percentage,
// the greater the confidence that the match is correct.
//
// Example Usage:
//
//	type Text struct {
//	  Name string
//	  Text string
//	}
//
//	func NewClassifier(knownTexts []Text) (*stringclassifier.Classifier, error) {
//	  sc := stringclassifier.New(stringclassifier.FlattenWhitespace)
//	  for _, known := range knownTexts {
//	    if err := sc.AddValue(known.Name, known.Text); err != nil {
//	      return nil, err
//	    }
//	  }
//	  return sc, nil
//	}
//
//	func IdentifyTexts(sc *stringclassifier.Classifier, unknownTexts []*Text) {
//	  for _, unknown := range unknownTexts {
//	    m := sc.NearestMatch(unknown.Text)
//	    log.Printf("The nearest match to %q is %q (confidence: %v)",
//	      unknown.Name, m.Name, m.Confidence)
//	  }
//	}
