Scores the similarity between two
Objects of the same type.
A string similarity score is intended to have some of the properties of a metric, yet allowing for exceptions, like the Jaro-Winkler similarity score.
A similarity score is the function d: [X * X] -> [0, INFINITY) with the following properties:
d(x,y) >= 0, non-negativity or separation axiomd(x,y) == d(y,x), symmetry.
Notice, these are two of the properties that contribute to d being a metric.
