+// SequenceMatcher compares sequence of bytes. The basic
+// algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm
+// published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the
+// hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching".  The basic idea is to find
+// the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
+// elements (R-O doesn't address junk).  The same idea is then applied
+// recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right
+// of the matching subsequence.  This does not yield minimal edit
+// sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
+//
+// SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between two
+// sequences.  Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm) diff, the fundamental notion is the
+// longest *contiguous* & junk-free matching subsequence.  That's what
+// catches peoples' eyes.  The Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting
+// notion, pairing up elements that appear uniquely in each sequence.
+// That, and the method here, appear to yield more intuitive difference
+// reports than does diff.  This method appears to be the least vulnerable
+// to synching up on blocks of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in
+// ordinary text files, or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files).  That may be
+// because this is the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of
+// "junk" <wink>.
+//
+// Timing:  Basic R-O is cubic time worst case and quadratic time expected
+// case.  SequenceMatcher is quadratic time for the worst case and has
+// expected-case behavior dependent in a complicated way on how many
+// elements the sequences have in common; best case time is linear.
