You are an expert in writing code in many different languages. Your goal is to perform code completion for the following code, keeping in mind the rest of the code and the file meta data.
    Metadata details:
    filename: utils.rs
    path of file: ./repos/mun/crates/mun_runtime/src
    
    the code of the file until where you have to start completion: use std::cmp;

/// The Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference
/// between two sequences A distance between two words is the minimum number of
/// single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to
/// change one word into the other
pub fn lev_distance(a: &str, b: &str) -> usize {
    // cases which don't require further computation
    if a.is_empty() {
        return b.chars().count();
    } else if b.is_empty() {
        return a.chars().count();
    }

    let mut dcol: Vec<_> = (0..=b.len()).collect();
    let mut t_last = 0;

    for (i, sc) in a.chars().enumerate() {
        let mut current = i;
        dcol[0] = current + 1;
