This directory contains a module that implements the "Metaphone" code as
a PostgreSQL user-defined function. The Metaphone system is a method of
matching similar sounding names (or any words) to the same code.
Metaphone was invented by Lawrence Philips as an improvement to the popular
name-hashing routine, Soundex.
This metaphone code is from Michael Kuhn, and is detailed at
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/metaphone/metaphone-kuhn.txt
