Description

I want to add MatchRatingApproach algorithm to the Lucene project.

What I have at the moment is a class called org.apache.lucene.analysis.phoenetic.MatchRatingApproach implementing StringEncoder
I have a pretty comprehensive test file located at: org.apache.lucene.analysis.phonetic.MatchRatingApproachTests

It's not exactly existing pattern so I'm going to need a bit of advice here. Thanks! Feel free to email.

FYI: It my first contribitution so be gentle C# is my native.
