I realize that your documentation is for an algorithm, and not a library, but you would do well to give use cases to which it applies and even flesh out one of them in a tutorial. The example code you supplied merely illustrate usage. Those that don't already understand their need for computing the edit distance will ignore this algorithm without more information.
