+as pronounced in English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to
+be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite
+minor differences in spelling.
+
+This module implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert
+Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation
+called \"American Soundex\" used for US census data, and current maintained by
+the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).")
