> Add SimilarityMatch algorithm to evaluate a similarity matching ratio between two strings.
> double matchscore = StringUtils.calculateSimilarityMatching(String s1, String s2)
> I have a patch ready with implementation of similaritymatch.
> This happens to be a usual need in science algorithm and directly using commons lang3 library for these string operation would be neat.
