Description: Provides a high-performance interface for calculating
        string similarities and distances, leveraging the efficient
        library 'RapidFuzz'
        <https://github.com/rapidfuzz/rapidfuzz-cpp>. This package
        integrates the 'C++' implementation, allowing 'R' users to
        access cutting-edge algorithms for fuzzy matching and text
        analysis. Supported metrics include Levenshtein,
        Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Jaro, Jaro-Winkler, Longest
        Common Subsequence (LCS), Optimal String Alignment (OSA),
        Indel, Prefix, and Postfix distances and similarities, as well
        as multiple fuzzy matching ratios.

        created by Max Bachmann and Adam Cohen
