I love the fuzzyjoin package and today I wanted to learn a little better how exactly it works. By coincidence, I stumbled across #71 and thought it was a pretty good idea to try and implement it, so I would understand the working of the package a bit better (but feel free to reject this as it was mainly a practice that turned out better than I thought).
The PR is still lacking some tests but I wanted to check if you are interested in adding these functions first.
For me, the main reason I want to work with similarity instead of distances is that they are standardized between 0 and 1 (at least most methods). Since I usually work with longer texts of heterogeneous lengths. Newspaper articles, for example, vary significantly in lengths and trying to find duplicates based on distance alone is basically impossible.
