+ (description
+ "This package implements an approximate string matching version of R's
+native @code{match} function. It can calculate various string distances based
+on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment),
+qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro,
+Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances
+can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding
+or between integer vectors representing generic sequences.")
