Yeah, this is a new library. I don't expect people to use it in the wild just yet.

As for how to use it in everyday programming, I think machine learning techniques and algorithms could probably be made easier. But besides that, I was envisioning just as you can use regular expressions to do a "fuzzy match" on a string, I had wanted something that could do a "fuzzy match" on hashes, so I could branch based on a classification, rather than an exact match using "==". Something like a spam filter would be a common application. Your example about reddit would be another. Basically, making decision not just with the information on hand, but also based on prior examples.
