Shortest common supersequence

Shortest common supersequence is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The shortest common superstring is a problem closely related to the longest common subsequence.

Given two strings u and v, the shortest common superstring of u and v is the shortest possible string s such that both u and v are a subsequence of s.

As an example, you'll take the strings 'AACCTTGG' and 'ACACTGTGA' and you should get 'AACTGG' for instance (sometimes several solutions are possible, though they should all have the same length by definition).
