Implementation of Jaro-Winkler similarity in the dguo/strsim-rs crate is wrong, causing strings with common prefix >=10 to all be considered perfect matches Using Jaro instead from the same crate fixes this issue Benefit of favoring long prefixes exists for matching common names But not for typo detection Hence use of Jaro instead of Jaro-Winkler is acceptable Confidence threshold adjusted so that `bar` is still suggested for `baz` since Jaro is strictly < Jaro-Winkler such an adjustment is expected. This is acceptable. While exact suggestions may change, the net change will be positive Suggestions are purely decorative and should thus not breaking change Fixes clap-rs#4660 Also see rapidfuzz/strsim-rs#53
