Comment (by yoavf):

 263.diff breaks things up a bit (in a somewhat complex way):

 - closest_original() compare strings lengths before doing textual
 comparison (filterable)
 - string_similarity() handles the actual comparison per word  (using
 levenshtein() / similar_text() depending on length)
 - the best matching string is then passed with the similarity percentage
 to gp_original_is_string_similar
 - is_string_similar() does that by default

 another improvement: instead of comparing to all the originals for every
 string, we only compare to the originals we haven't yet matched before
 ({{{unset( $originals_for_comparison[$entry->key()] );}}})
