Asymmetric pairwise distance matrix

Suppose you want to compare three sequences: a, b, and c. The traditionally obtained 3-by-3 pairwise distance matrix is symmetric , which indicates that the distance from a to b is equal to the distance from b to a.

I am wondering if TraMineR can somehow create an asymmetric pair matrix .

The main interest in calculating pairwise differences between sequences is that as soon as we have such differences, we can, for example,
