// Package difflib is a partial port of Python difflib module.
//
// It provides tools to compare sequences of strings and generate textual diffs.
//
// The following class and functions have been ported:
//
// - SequenceMatcher
//
// - unified_diff
//
// - context_diff
//
// Getting unified diffs was the main goal of the port. Keep in mind this code
// is mostly suitable to output text differences in a human friendly way, there
// are no guarantees generated diffs are consumable by patch(1).

// SequenceMatcher compares sequence of strings. The basic
// algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm
// published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the
// hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching".  The basic idea is to find
// the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
// elements (R-O doesn't address junk).  The same idea is then applied
// recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right
// of the matching subsequence.  This does not yield minimal edit
// sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
//
// SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two
// sequences.  Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the
// longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence.  That's what
// catches peoples' eyes.  The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting
// notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.
// That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference
// reports than does diff.  This method appears to be the least vulnerable
// to synching up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in
// ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files).  That may be
// because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of
// "junk" <wink>.
//
// Timing:  Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected
// case.  SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has
// expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many
// elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.
