slotThe c36a888a59 X.P.FuzzyMatch: Use isSubsequenceOf
The implementation is exactly the same, just that this function is now
in base, so there should be no change in behaviour.

-- $usage
--
-- This module offers two aspects of fuzzy matching of completions offered by
-- XMonad.Prompt.
--
-- 'fuzzyMatch' can be used as the searchPredicate in the XPConfig. The effect
-- is that any completion that contains the currently typed characters as a
-- subsequence is a valid completion; matching is case insensitive. This means
-- that the sequence of typed characters can be obtained from the completion by
-- deleting an appropriate subset of its characters. Example: "spr" matches
-- "FastSPR" but also "SuccinctParallelTrees" because it's a subsequence of the
-- latter: "S.......P.r..........".
--
-- While this type of inclusiveness is helpful most of the time, it sometimes
-- also produces surprising matches. 'fuzzySort' helps sorting matches by
-- relevance, using a simple heuristic for measuring relevance. The matches are
-- sorted primarily by the length of the substring that contains the query
-- characters and secondarily the starting position of the match. So, if the
-- search string is "spr" and the matches are "FastSPR", "FasterSPR", and
-- "SuccinctParallelTrees", then the order is "FastSPR", "FasterSPR",
-- "SuccinctParallelTrees" because both "FastSPR" and "FasterSPR" contain "spr"
-- within a substring of length 3 ("SPR") while the shortest substring of
-- "SuccinctParallelTrees" that matches "spr" is "SuccinctPar", which has length
-- 11. "FastSPR" is ranked before "FasterSPR" because its match starts at
-- position 5 while the match in "FasterSPR" starts at position 7.
--
-- To use these functions in an XPrompt, for example, for windowPrompt:
--
-- > import XMonad.Prompt
-- > import XMonad.Prompt.Window ( windowPrompt )
-- > import XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch
-- >
-- > myXPConfig = def { searchPredicate = fuzzyMatch
-- > , sorter = fuzzySort
-- > }
--
-- then add this to your keys definition:
--
-- > , ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_g), windowPrompt myXPConfig Goto allWindows)
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing the key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
-- | Returns True if the first argument is a subsequence of the second argument,
-- that is, it can be obtained from the second sequence by deleting elements.
