The levenshtein-distance thingy seems to still be a topic of debate as well, both as to how we're going to refactor the code and as to what the exact hinting rules ought to be. If some committer wants to take charge of it and resolve those issues, fine; but I don't want to see it done by just blindly committing whatever the last submitted version was.
My 2c. I imagine that in this case the consensus is going to be first:
- Move a minimum of the core functions of fuzzystrmatch and rename them (str_distance?)
- Do not dump fuzzystrmatch and have the levenshtein call those functions
In any case levenshtein code needs a careful refactoring and some additional thoughts first before the hint code is touched.
