Generate shortest edit scripts using Myers' diff algorithm with edit distance

Development linuxmacos Rust

Description

sesdiff generates a shortest edit script (Myers' diff algorithm) to indicate how to get from strings in column A to strings in column B. It also provides the edit distance (Levenshtein).
