/**
Defines the fastest type to use when storing temporaries of a
calculation intended to ultimately yield a result of type $(D F)
(where $(D F) must be one of $(D float), $(D double), or $(D
real)). When doing a multi-step computation, you may want to store
intermediate results as $(D FPTemporary!F).

The necessity of $(D FPTemporary) stems from the optimized
floating-point operations and registers present in virtually all
processors. When adding numbers in the example above, the addition may
in fact be done in $(D real) precision internally. In that case,
storing the intermediate $(D result) in $(D double format) is not only
less precise, it is also (surprisingly) slower, because a conversion
from $(D real) to $(D double) is performed every pass through the
loop. This being a lose-lose situation, $(D FPTemporary!F) has been
defined as the $(I fastest) type to use for calculations at precision
$(D F). There is no need to define a type for the $(I most accurate)
calculations, as that is always $(D real).

Finally, there is no guarantee that using $(D FPTemporary!F) will
always be fastest, as the speed of floating-point calculations depends
on very many factors.

/**
The so-called "all-lengths gap-weighted string kernel" computes a
similarity measure between $(D s) and $(D t) based on all of their
common subsequences of all lengths. Gapped subsequences are also
included.

To understand what $(D gapWeightedSimilarity(s, t, lambda)) computes,
consider first the case $(D lambda = 1) and the strings $(D s =
["Hello", "brave", "new", "world"]) and $(D t = ["Hello", "new",
"world"]). In that case, $(D gapWeightedSimilarity) counts the
following matches:

$(OL $(LI three matches of length 1, namely $(D "Hello"), $(D "new"),
and $(D "world");) $(LI three matches of length 2, namely ($(D
"Hello", "new")), ($(D "Hello", "world")), and ($(D "new", "world"));)
$(LI one match of length 3, namely ($(D "Hello", "new", "world")).))

The call $(D gapWeightedSimilarity(s, t, 1)) simply counts all of
these matches and adds them up, returning 7.

----
string[] s = ["Hello", "brave", "new", "world"];
string[] t = ["Hello", "new", "world"];
assert(gapWeightedSimilarity(s, t, 1) == 7);
----

Note how the gaps in matching are simply ignored, for example ($(D
"Hello", "new")) is deemed as good a match as ($(D "new",
"world")). This may be too permissive for some applications. To
eliminate gapped matches entirely, use $(D lambda = 0):

----
string[] s = ["Hello", "brave", "new", "world"];
string[] t = ["Hello", "new", "world"];
assert(gapWeightedSimilarity(s, t, 0) == 4);
----

The call above eliminated the gapped matches ($(D "Hello", "new")),
($(D "Hello", "world")), and ($(D "Hello", "new", "world")) from the
tally. That leaves only 4 matches.

The most interesting case is when gapped matches still participate in
the result, but not as strongly as ungapped matches. The result will
be a smooth, fine-grained similarity measure between the input
strings. This is where values of $(D lambda) between 0 and 1 enter
into play: gapped matches are $(I exponentially penalized with the
number of gaps) with base $(D lambda). This means that an ungapped
match adds 1 to the return value; a match with one gap in either
string adds $(D lambda) to the return value; ...; a match with a total
of $(D n) gaps in both strings adds $(D pow(lambda, n)) to the return
value. In the example above, we have 4 matches without gaps, 2 matches
with one gap, and 1 match with three gaps. The latter match is ($(D
"Hello", "world")), which has two gaps in the first string and one gap
in the second string, totaling to three gaps. Summing these up we get
$(D 4 + 2 * lambda + pow(lambda, 3)).

----
string[] s = ["Hello", "brave", "new", "world"];
string[] t = ["Hello", "new", "world"];
assert(gapWeightedSimilarity(s, t, 0.5) == 4 + 0.5 * 2 + 0.125);
----

$(D gapWeightedSimilarity) is useful wherever a smooth similarity
measure between sequences allowing for approximate matches is
needed. The examples above are given with words, but any sequences
with elements comparable for equality are allowed, e.g. characters or
numbers. $(D gapWeightedSimilarity) uses a highly optimized dynamic
programming implementation that needs $(D 16 * min(s.length,
t.length)) extra bytes of memory and $(BIGOH s.length * t.length) time
to complete.

The similarity per $(D gapWeightedSimilarity) has an issue in that it
grows with the lengths of the two strings, even though the strings are

"world", "world", "world",...]) as more instances of $(D "world") are
