The EditDistance trait provides methods to compute and display the shortest distance between 2 strings.
Usage:
showDistance("kitten", "sitting") // returns ("(k)itt(e)n", "(s)itt(i)n(g)")
// with different separators
showDistance("kitten", "sitting", "[]") // returns ("[k]itt[e]n", "[s]itt[i]n[g]")

- Value parameters:
- sep
separators used to highlight differences. If sep is empty, then no separator is used. If sep contains one character, it is taken as the unique separator. If sep contains 2 or more characters, the first half of the characters are taken as opening separator and the second half as closing separator.
- Returns:
a (String, String) displaying the differences between each input strings. The used separators are specified by the caller. The string is shortened before and after differences if necessary.
