Description: Encodes names and words as phonetic codes, so that names
        which sound alike but are spelled differently can be matched.
        Implements the Metaphone algorithm of Philips (1990, Computer
        Language, 7(12), 38-43) and the Double Metaphone algorithm of
        Philips (2000)
        <https://web.archive.org/web/20250702064845/https://drdobbs.com/the-double-metaphone-search-algorithm/184401251>,
        which gives a primary and an alternate code for names of many
        language origins. Unlike most implementations, including
        'PGRdup', the codes are not cut to four characters, which keeps
        long and multi-part names apart. Provides metaphone(),
        double_metaphone() and sounds_like() for record linkage,
        deduplication and name search, and includes a data set of
        common United States surnames.
