   42/** <module> Phonetic string matching
   43
   44The library library(double_metaphone) implements   the  Double Metaphone
   45algorithm  developed  by  Lawrence  Philips    and   described  in  "The
   46Double-Metaphone Search Algorithm" by L   Philips, C/C++ User's Journal,
   472000. Double Metaphone creates a key  from   a  word that represents its
   48phonetic properties. Two words  with  the   same  Double  Metaphone  are
   49supposed to sound similar. The Double Metaphone algorithm is an improved
   50version of the Soundex algorithm.
   51
   52@license The Double Metaphone algorithm is copied from the Perl library
   53that holds the following copyright notice. To the best of our knowledge
   54the Perl license is compatible to the SWI-Prolog license schema and
   55therefore including this module poses no additional license conditions.

   76%
   77%   Create metaphone and alternative metaphone  from In. The primary
   78%   metaphone is based on english, while   the  secondary deals with
   79%   common alternative pronounciation in  other   languages.  In  is
   80%   either and atom, string object,  code-   or  character list. The
   81%   metaphones are always returned as atoms.
