It can be generalized as for character vectors. Though, I agree, that
was an off topic question in some extent. I was wondering if there
were any postgres related indexable Hamming/Manhattan distance
experiments/thoughts/discussions, if kNN can be used here or not,
because from my understanding it can be represented as spatial (I
might be very wrong here).
