Summary: Implementation of the Soundex algorithm as described by Knuth

Description: 

This module implements the soundex algorithm as described by Donald Knuth
in Volume 3 of The Art of Computer Programming.  The algorithm is intended
to hash words (in particular surnames) into a small space using a simple model
which approximates the sound of the word when spoken by an English speaker.
Each word is reduced to a four character string, the first character being
an upper case letter and the remaining three being digits.
