/**
* Encodes a string into a NYSIIS value. NYSIIS is an encoding used to relate similar names, but can also be used as a
* general purpose scheme to find word with similar phonemes.
*
* NYSIIS features an accuracy increase of 2.7% over the traditional Soundex algorithm.
*
* Algorithm com.fitburscription:
*
* 1. Transcode first characters of name
* 1a. MAC -> MCC
* 1b. KN -> NN
* 1c. K -> C
* 1d. PH -> FF
* 1e. PF -> FF
* 1f. SCH -> SSS
* 2. Transcode last characters of name
* 2a. EE, IE -> Y
* 2b. DT,RT,RD,NT,ND -> D
* 3. First character of key = first character of name
* 4. Transcode remaining characters by following these rules, incrementing by one character each time
* 4a. EV -> AF else A,E,I,O,U -> A
* 4b. Q -> G
* 4c. Z -> S
* 4d. M -> N
* 4e. KN -> N else K -> C
* 4f. SCH -> SSS
* 4g. PH -> FF
* 4h. H -> If previous or next is nonvowel, previous
* 4i. W -> If previous is vowel, previous
* 4j. Add current to key if current != last key character
* 5. If last character is S, remove it
* 6. If last characters are AY, replace with Y
* 7. If last character is A, remove it
* 8. Collapse all strings of repeated characters
* 9. Add original first character of name as first character of key
*
*
* This class is immutable and thread-safe.
