/* Fuzzy searching of L strings in a large set of N messages (assuming
   they have all the same small size) takes O(L * N) when using repeated
   fstrcmp() calls.  When for example L = 800 and N = 69000, this is slow.

   So we preprocess the set of N messages, yielding a data structure
   that allows to select the similar messages for any given string, and
   apply fstrcmp() only to the search result.  This allows to reduce the
   time to something between O(L * 1) and O(L * N) - depending on the
   structure of the strings.  In the example with L = 800 and N = 69000,
   memory use increases by a factor of 2 and the time decreases from
   9068 s to 230 s.

   The data structure is a hash table mapping each n-gram (here with n=4)
   occurring in the message strings to the list of messages that contains
   it.  For example, if the message list is
      [0] "close"
      [1] "losers"
   the index is a hash table mapping
      "clos" -> { 0 }
      "lose" -> { 0, 1 }
      "oser" -> { 1 }
      "sers" -> { 1 }
   Searching the similar messages to, say, "closest", is done by looking up
   all its 4-grams in the hash table and summing up the results:
      "clos" -> { 0 }
      "lose" -> { 0, 1 }
      "oses" -> {}
      "sest" -> {}
   => total: { 2x0, 1x1 }
   The list is sorted according to decreasing frequency: { 0, 1, ... }
   and only the first few messages from this frequency list are passed to
   fstrcmp().

   The n-gram similarity and the fstrcmp() similarity are quite different
   metrics.  For example, "close" and "c l o s e" have no n-grams in common
   (even for n as small as n = 2); however, fstrcmp() will find that they
   are quite similar (= 0.71).  Conversely, "AAAA BBBB ... ZZZZ" and
   "ZZZZ ... BBBB AAAA" have many 4-grams in common, but their fstrcmp() is
   only 0.02.  Also, repeated n-grams don't have the same effect on the
   two similarity measures.  But all this doesn't matter much in practice.

   We chose n = 4 because for alphabetic languages, with n = 3 the occurrence
   lists are likely too long.  (Well, with ideographic languages like Chinese,
   n = 3 might actually be quite good.  Anyway, n = 4 is not bad in this case
   either.)

   The units are characters in the current encoding.  Not just bytes,
   because 4 consecutive bytes in UTF-8 or GB18030 don't mean much.  */
