module Abbrev

  # Given a set of strings, calculate the set of unambiguous
  # abbreviations for those strings, and return a hash where the keys
  # are all the possible abbreviations and the values are the full
  # strings. Thus, given input of "car" and "cone", the keys pointing
  # to "car" would be "ca" and "car", while those pointing to "cone"
  # would be "co", "con", and "cone".
  #
  # The optional +pattern+ parameter is a pattern or a string. Only
  # those input strings matching the pattern, or begging the string,
  # are considered for inclusion in the output hash
