Thank you for your support!
I updated the code, so could you please review this patch again?
================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Support/StringRef.cpp:102
+// Find a similar string in `Candidates`.
+Optional<std::string> StringRef::find_similar_str(const std::vector<StringRef>
&Candidates, size_t Dist) const {
+ // We need to check if `rng` has the exact case-insensitive string because
the Levenshtein distance match does not

I see. Thank you!
