  43/** <module> Phonetic string matching
  44
  45The library library(double_metaphone) implements   the  Double Metaphone
  46algorithm  developed  by  Lawrence  Philips    and   described  in  "The
  47Double-Metaphone Search Algorithm" by L   Philips, C/C++ User's Journal,
  482000. Double Metaphone creates a key  from   a  word that represents its
  49phonetic properties. Two words  with  the   same  Double  Metaphone  are
  50supposed to sound similar. The Double Metaphone algorithm is an improved
  51version of the Soundex algorithm.
  52
  53@license The Double Metaphone algorithm is copied from the Perl library
  54that holds the following copyright notice. To the best of our knowledge
  55the Perl license is compatible to the SWI-Prolog license schema and
  56therefore including this module poses no additional license conditions.

  73%   Same as double_metaphone/3,  but  only   returning  the  primary

  76%!  double_metaphone(+In, -MetaPhone, -AltMetaphone) is det.
  77%
  78%   Create metaphone and alternative metaphone  from In. The primary
  79%   metaphone is based on english, while   the  secondary deals with
  80%   common alternative pronounciation in  other   languages.  In  is
  81%   either and atom, string object,  code-   or  character list. The
  82%   metaphones are always returned as atoms.
