(levenshtein-distance/sequence SOURCE TARGET [:insert-cost INSERT-COST] [#:delete-cost DELETE-COST] [#:substitute-cost SUBSTITUTE-COST] (#:get-work-vector GET-WORK-VECTOR) [#:elm-eql ELM-EQL] [#:limit-cost LIMIT-COST]) -> (or false cost)procedure
SOURCE
string.
TARGET
string.
INSERT-COST
number, default 1.
DELETE-COST
number, default 1.
SUBSTITUTE-COST
number, default 1.
ELM-EQL
procedure; (-> object object boolean), default eqv?. The equality predicate.
GET-WORK-VECTOR
procedure, default make-vector.
LIMIT-COST
number or #f, default #f. Quit when cost over limit & return #f.

The SOURCE & TARGET must be the same type, which the instantiating sequence module supports.

Note that the element comparison procedure is passed via the argument list, and not via the sequence implementation module. Annoying when using strings but useful when using vectors.
