The document of difflib refers to an article published by
DDJ.

http://www.ddj.com/
"Pattern Matching: The Gestalt Approach" by John W.
Ratcliff & D. E. Metzener

Luckily, this article is available on DDJ's site, so why not
add a link to that URI?

Usually, we don't put in links unless pretty sure that the
link will remain valid for a long time. The DDJ site is
relatively stable, but it is still a judgement call.
