+    # == Introduction (by Mark-Jason Dominus)
+    # 
+    # <em>The following text is from the Perl documentation. The only
+    # changes have been to make the text appear better in Rdoc</em>.
+    #
+    # I once read an article written by the authors of +diff+; they said
+    # that they hard worked very hard on the algorithm until they found the
+    # right one.
+    #
+    # I think what they ended up using (and I hope someone will correct me,
+    # because I am not very confident about this) was the `longest common
+    # subsequence' method. In the LCS problem, you have two sequences of
+    # items:
+    #
+    #    a b c d f g h j q z
+    #    a b c d e f g i j k r x y z
+    #
+    # and you want to find the longest sequence of items that is present in
+    # both original sequences in the same order. That is, you want to find a
+    # new sequence *S* which can be obtained from the first sequence by
+    # deleting some items, and from the second sequence by deleting other
+    # items. You also want *S* to be as long as possible. In this case *S*
+    # is:
+    # 
+    #    a b c d f g j z
+    #
+    # From there it's only a small step to get diff-like output:
+    #
+    #    e   h i   k   q r x y
+    #    +   - +   +   - + + +
+    #
+    # This module solves the LCS problem. It also includes a canned function
+    # to generate +diff+-like output.
+    #
+    # It might seem from the example above that the LCS of two sequences is
+    # always pretty obvious, but that's not always the case, especially when
+    # the two sequences have many repeated elements. For example, consider
+    #
+    #    a x b y c z p d q
+    #    a b c a x b y c z
+    #
+    # A naive approach might start by matching up the +a+ and +b+ that
+    # appear at the beginning of each sequence, like this:
+    # 
+    #    a x b y c         z p d q
+    #    a   b   c a b y c z
+    #
+    # This finds the common subsequence +a b c z+. But actually, the LCS is
+    # +a x b y c z+:
+    #
+    #          a x b y c z p d q
+    #    a b c a x b y c z

+      # If there are two arrows (+a+ and +b+) pointing to elements of
+      # sequences +A+ and +B+, the arrows will initially point to the first
+      # elements of their respective sequences. #traverse_sequences will
+      # advance the arrows through the sequences one element at a time,
+      # calling a method on the user-specified callback object before each
+      # advance. It will advance the arrows in such a way that if there are
+      # elements <tt>A[ii]</tt> and <tt>B[jj]</tt> which are both equal and
+      # part of the longest common subsequence, there will be some moment
+      # during the execution of #traverse_sequences when arrow +a+ is pointing
+      # to <tt>A[ii]</tt> and arrow +b+ is pointing to <tt>B[jj]</tt>. When
+      # this happens, #traverse_sequences will call <tt>callbacks#match</tt>

+      #
+      # Otherwise, one of the arrows is pointing to an element of its sequence
+      # that is not part of the longest common subsequence.

+      # will advance one of them and call the appropriate callback, but it is
+      # not specified which it will call.
+      #
+      # The methods for <tt>callbacks#match</tt>, <tt>callbacks#discard_a</tt>,
+      # and <tt>callbacks#discard_b</tt> are invoked with an event comprising
+      # the action ("=", "+", or "-", respectively), the indicies +ii+ and
+      # +jj+, and the elements <tt>A[ii]</tt> and <tt>B[jj]</tt>. Return
+      # values are discarded by #traverse_sequences.
+      #
+      # === End of Sequences
+      # If arrow +a+ reaches the end of its sequence before arrow +b+ does,
+      # #traverse_sequence try to call <tt>callbacks#finished_a</tt> with the
+      # last index and element of +A+ (<tt>A[-1]</tt>) and the current index
+      # and element of +B+ (<tt>B[jj]</tt>). If <tt>callbacks#finished_a</tt>
+      # does not exist, then <tt>callbacks#discard_b</tt> will be called on
+      # each element of +B+ until the end of the sequence is reached (the call
+      # will be done with <tt>A[-1]</tt> and <tt>B[jj]</tt> for each element).
+      #
+      # If +b+ reaches the end of +B+ before +a+ reaches the end of +A+,
+      # <tt>callbacks#finished_b</tt> will be called with the current index
+      # and element of +A+ (<tt>A[ii]</tt>) and the last index and element of
+      # +B+ (<tt>A[-1]</tt>). Again, if <tt>callbacks#finished_b</tt> does not
+      # exist on the callback object, then <tt>callbacks#discard_a</tt> will
+      # be called on each element of +A+ until the end of the sequence is
+      # reached (<tt>A[ii]</tt> and <tt>B[-1]</tt>).

+      # callbacks#discard_a::           Called when +a+ is pointing to an
+      #                                 element not in +B+.

+      # === Matches
+      # If there are two arrows (+a+ and +b+) pointing to elements of
+      # sequences +A+ and +B+, the arrows will initially point to the first
+      # elements of their respective sequences. #traverse_sequences will
+      # advance the arrows through the sequences one element at a time,
+      # calling a method on the user-specified callback object before each
+      # advance. It will advance the arrows in such a way that if there are
+      # elements <tt>A[ii]</tt> and <tt>B[jj]</tt> which are both equal and
+      # part of the longest common subsequence, there will be some moment
+      # during the execution of #traverse_sequences when arrow +a+ is pointing
+      # to <tt>A[ii]</tt> and arrow +b+ is pointing to <tt>B[jj]</tt>. When
+      # this happens, #traverse_sequences will call <tt>callbacks#match</tt>
+      # and then it will advance both arrows.
+      #
+      # === Discards
+      # Otherwise, one of the arrows is pointing to an element of its sequence
+      # that is not part of the longest common subsequence.
+      # #traverse_sequences will advance that arrow and will call
+      # <tt>callbacks#discard_a</tt> or <tt>callbacks#discard_b</tt>,
+      # depending on which arrow it advanced.
+      #
+      # === Changes
+      # If both +a+ and +b+ point to elements that are not part of the longest
+      # common subsequence, then #traverse_sequences will try to call
+      # <tt>callbacks#change</tt> and advance both arrows. If
+      # <tt>callbacks#change</tt> is not implemented, then
+      # <tt>callbacks#discard_a</tt> and <tt>callbacks#discard_b</tt> will be
+      # called in turn.
+      #
+      # The methods for <tt>callbacks#match</tt>, <tt>callbacks#discard_a</tt>,
+      # <tt>callbacks#discard_b</tt>, and <tt>callbacks#change</tt> are
+      # invoked with an event comprising the action ("=", "+", "-", or "!",

+      # <tt>A[ii]</tt> and <tt>B[jj]</tt>. Return values are discarded by
+      # #traverse_balanced.
+      #
+      # === Context
