= approximatize

== DESCRIPTION:

Approximatize lets you code while drunk ;-)

What if your programming language interpreter didn't mind small spelling mistakes.
Imagine that you type a method name a wee bit wrong, but the the interpreter seems
to read your mind and call the correct method instead of throwing an NoMethodFound
exception at you.

Approximatize gives you that. Well, sort of. It uses levenshtein distance to find
a matching function signature.

For a better description of how it works read the following blogposts:

== SYNOPSIS:

class Example
  def test(str)
    puts "test method called: #{str}\n"
  end
end

approximatize(Example)

ex = Example.new

# These will all case ex.test
ex.test "a normal method call"
ex.text "Did you mean test?"
ex.tes "Did you mean test? (then you forgot a letter)"
ex.ttest "Did you mean test? (then wrote a letter to much)"

ex.and_now_for_something_completely_different # => Will thrown NoMethodFound exception
