Description

I was wondering if it would be possible to return all scores, not only the top value. So that the returned object would be like:

```
[{ distance: 1, value: 'tough' }
{ distance: 0.7142857142857143, value: 'thought' }
{ distance: 0.875, value: 'through' }]
```

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the matcher entry point that currently returns only the top score and inspect how candidate scores are assembled. Add coverage for the three values in the issue example, then verify that the public result includes every scored candidate in the expected order.
