The Levenshtein distance is a metric for measuring the amount of difference
between two sequences (i.e., the so called edit distance). The Levenshtein
-distance between two strings is given by the minimum number of operations
-needed to transform one string into the other, where an operation is an
-insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single character.
+distance between two sequences is given by the minimum number of operations
+needed to transform one sequence into the other, where an operation is an
+insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single element.
+
+The two sequences can be two strings, two arrays, or two other objects.
+Strings, arrays and arrays of strings are handled with optimized (very fast) C
+code. All other sequences are handled with generic (fast) C code.
