Class DoubleMetaphone

Encodes a string into a double metaphone value. This Implementation is based on the algorithm by Lawrence Philips.

This class is conditionally thread-safe. The instance field Lucene.Net.Analysis.Phonetic.Language.DoubleMetaphone.maxCodeLen is mutable MaxCodeLen but is not volatile, and accesses are not synchronized. If an instance of the class is shared between threads, the caller needs to ensure that suitable synchronization is used to ensure safe publication of the value between threads, and must not set MaxCodeLen after initial setup.
