/**
* 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:
*
*
* - Text:Metaphone-1.96
* (broken link 4/30/2013)
* - Text:Metaphone-1.96
* (link checked 4/30/2013)
*
*
* 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.
