Description: Bindings to edlib, a lightweight performant C/C++ library
        for exact pairwise sequence alignment using edit distance
        (Levenshtein distance). The algorithm computes the optimal
        alignment path, but also can be used to find only the start
        and/or end of the alignment path for convenience. Edlib was
        designed to be ultrafast and require little memory, with the
        capability to handle very large sequences. Three alignment
        methods are supported: global (Needleman-Wunsch), infix (Hybrid
        Wunsch), and prefix (Semi-Hybrid Wunsch). The original C/C++
        library is described in "Edlib: a C/C++ library for fast, exact
        sequence alignment using edit distance", M. Šošić, M. Šikić,
        <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw753>.
