Emits a fuzzy clause on the bound field, matching terms within the given edit distance of the value (Lucene levenshtein); value-typed fields target the .keyword sub-field. fuzziness accepts only "AUTO", "0", "1" or "2" : anything else becomes "AUTO". An unwired or falsy value, or a missing field binding, outputs nil: no clause at all.

A typical wiring for fuzzy: value feeds the value pin; the query out pin feeds cast to object.
