.
A multi-character substring is defined using ()
.

map: 'sc(sh)(sch)(ss)|t(tt)' # two groups.
replace: 50 # Make it 1/2 the cost of a normal edit to replace a `t` with `tt`.
The following could be used to make inserting, removing, or replacing vowels cheaper.
map: 'aeiouy'
insDel: 50 # Make it is cheaper to insert or delete a vowel.
replace: 45 # It is even cheaper to replace one with another.
