Arguments

Two data frames with columns 'mrn', 'first_name', 'last_name', and
'birth_date' (yyyy-mm-dd)
Details
The function cleans up the last names slightly and then matches exactly
on the cleaned up last names and the birth dates. Then fuzzy matching is done
on the first name, using the stringdist package.
Value
A data.frame with column names with suffixes '_x' and '_y' corresponding
to the x and y inputs. The dist column gives the string distance between the
two first names.
