/**
 * Encodes a string into a Metaphone value.
 * 

* Initial Java implementation by William B. Brogden. December, 1997. * Permission given by wbrogden for code to be used anywhere. *

*

* Hanging on the Metaphone by Lawrence Philips in Computer Language of Dec. 1990, * p 39. *

*

* Note, that this does not match the algorithm that ships with PHP, or the algorithm found in the Perl implementations: *

* *

* They have had undocumented changes from the originally published algorithm. * For more information, see CODEC-57. *

*

* This class is conditionally thread-safe. * The instance field for maximum code length is mutable {@link #setMaxCodeLen(int)} * 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 invoke {@link #setMaxCodeLen(int)} * after initial setup. *
