Description: Find similarities between texts using the Smith-Waterman
        algorithm. The algorithm performs local sequence alignment and
        determines similar regions between two strings. The
        Smith-Waterman algorithm is explained in the paper:
        "Identification of common molecular subsequences" by T.F.Smith
        and M.S.Waterman (1981), available at
        <doi:10.1016/0022-2836(81)90087-5>. This package implements the
        same logic for sequences of words and letters instead of
        molecular sequences.
