    r"""Baulieu VI distance.

    For two sets X and Y and a population N, Baulieu VI distance
    :cite:`Baulieu:1997` is

        .. math::

            dist_{BaulieuVI}(X, Y) = \frac{|X \setminus Y| + |Y \setminus X|}
            {|X \cap Y| + |X \setminus Y| + |Y \setminus X| + 1}

    This is Baulieu's 24th dissimilarity coefficient. This coefficient fails
    Baulieu's (P3) property, that :math:`D(a,b,c,d) = 1` for some (a,b,c,d).
    Rather, :math:`D(a,b,c,d) < 1`, but
    :math:`\lim_{b \to \infty, c \to \infty} D(a,b,c,d) = 0` for :math:`a = 0`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        alphabet : Counter, collection, int, or None
            This represents the alphabet of possible tokens.
            See :ref:`alphabet <alphabet>` description in
            :py:class:`_TokenDistance` for details.

            A tokenizer instance from the :py:mod:`abydos.tokenizer` package
        intersection_type : str
            Specifies the intersection type, and set type as a result:

        **kwargs
            Arbitrary keyword arguments

        Other Parameters
        ----------------
        qval : int
            The length of each q-gram. Using this parameter and tokenizer=None
            will cause the instance to use the QGram tokenizer with this
            q value.
        metric : _Distance
            A string distance measure class for use in the ``soft`` and
            ``fuzzy`` variants.
        threshold : float
            A threshold value, similarities above which are counted as
            members of the intersection for the ``fuzzy`` variant.
