distance</a> between
<code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, that is, the number of bits where <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> differ,
or, the number of set bits in the xor of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>.</p>
<p>When <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> have the same 8-byte alignment, this uses
<code>distance_fast</code>, a highly optimised version of the following naive
version:</p>
<pre class='rust rust-example-rendered'>
<span class='kw'>fn</span> <span class='ident'>naive</span>(<span class='ident'>x</span>: <span class='kw-2'>&amp;</span>[<span class='ident'>u8</span>], <span class='ident'>y</span>: <span class='kw-2'>&amp;</span>[<span class='ident'>u8</span>]) <span class='op'>-&gt;</span> <span class='ident'>u64</span> {

}</pre>
<p>If alignments differ, a slower but less restrictive algorithm is
used.</p>
<p>It is essentially guaranteed that <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> will have the same
8-byte alignment if they are both just <code>Vec&lt;u8&gt;</code>s of non-trivial
length (e.g. larger than 8) as in the example below.</p>
<h1 id='panics' class='section-header'><a href='#panics'>Panics</a></h1>
<p><code>x</code> and <code>y</code> must have the same length, or else <code>distance</code> panics.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
