Fuzzy String Matching

fuzzyMatch calculates a score for an item (a string or an object with string-valued properties) against a string search term. The term does not necessarily have to be a substring of the item, but instead the score is calculated against dominant parts of the search object. For example, the string FuzzyStringMatching would score highly against the term FSM. If you've ever used the Go To Anything feature in Sublime Text, you'll know what I mean.

The idea is that you use this function to give a rank to each item in a searchable array, which can then be used to find the most relevant item in the array quickly.

The algorithm is somewhat arbitrary based on the use-case against which it was originally written, but essentially it is tailored towards matching initial characters in camelCased strings highly, as well as consecutive substrings.
