 A special form of the pairwise sequence alignment is the edit distance. This distance metric counts the number of
 edits necessary to transform one sequence into the other. The cost model for the edit distance is fixed. In particular,
 the match score is `0` and the scores for a mismatch and a gap is `-1`. Due to the special metric, a fast

 used to compute the edit distance. This happens in SeqAn automatically if the respective configurations are used.
 To do so, you need to explicitly use the `seqan3::hamming_scoring_scheme` as well as the default gap scheme
 initialised with `-1` for a gap and `0` for a gap open score while computing a `seqan3::global_alignment`.
