A wrapper that vectorizes function longest_substring, allowing an input vector and either a vector or matrix output.

1 2	longest_substring_vec(a, b = NULL, default = NA_character_, matrix_out = is.null(b), USE.NAMES = matrix_out)

`a`	a character vector
`b`	a character vector, or `NULL` (default) indicating taking `a` as `b`
`default`	value to return when no matching substring is found. By default `NA_character_`
`matrix_out`	logical. If `TRUE`, returns a matrix of common substrings. If `FALSE`, returns a vector of common substrings.
`USE.NAMES`	logical. If `TRUE`, displays names in output. If `matrix_out = FALSE`, names of `a` will be used.

Depending on matrix_out either a vector or a matrix of longest common substrings. If matrix_out = TRUE, returns a matrix of longest common substring for each of the elements of a and b, with rows and columns corresponding to a and b respectively. If matrix_out = FALSE, returns a vector of common substrings for the corresponding elements in vector a and b.
