No, because being = to the threshold means that the common prefix/suffix is
empty string. It'd make variables such as "A" and "X" deemed related. Generally
not something we want, because that's too broad of an assumption that they are
"meant to be used together". (Generally you shouldn't name variables like so,
but still...)
