The fix is something I have been requesting for a long time.  Produce two
vCard (or whatever format you want) files to be used as a test suite.
The idea is that you clear all entries and add the first.  Then import
the second which should be deliberately contrived to flex and tune
the matching rules.

The scoring and weighting is currently rubbish.  I never had any data
to do good testing against and no time to make the data.  Consequently
the code uses what amounts to random constants.
