/**
 * The <code>BreakIterator</code> class implements methods for finding
 * the location of boundaries in text. Instances of <code>BreakIterator</code>
 * maintain a current position and scan over text
 * returning the index of characters where boundaries occur.
 * Internally, <code>BreakIterator</code> scans text using a
 * <code>CharacterIterator</code>, and is thus able to scan text held
 * by any object implementing that protocol. A <code>StringCharacterIterator</code>
 * is used to scan <code>String</code> objects passed to <code>setText</code>.
 *
 * <p>
 * You use the factory methods provided by this class to create
 * instances of various types of break iterators. In particular,
 * use <code>getWordIterator</code>, <code>getLineIterator</code>,
 * <code>getSentenceIterator</code>, and <code>getCharacterIterator</code>
 * to create <code>BreakIterator</code>s that perform
 * word, line, sentence, and character boundary analysis respectively.
 * A single <code>BreakIterator</code> can work only on one unit
 * (word, line, sentence, and so on). You must use a different iterator
 * for each unit boundary analysis you wish to perform.
 *
 * <p>
 * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be
 * broken when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles
 * punctuation and hyphenated words.
 *
 * <p>
 * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct interpretation
 * of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and trailing punctuation
 * marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
 *
 * <p>
 * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
 * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
 * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
 * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
 * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols
 * or punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
 *
 * <p>
 * Character boundary analysis allows users to interact with characters
 * as they expect to, for example, when moving the cursor through a text
 * string. Character boundary analysis provides correct navigation of
 * through character strings, regardless of how the character is stored.
 * For example, an accented character might be stored as a base character
 * and a diacritical mark. What users consider to be a character can
 * differ between languages.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>BreakIterator</code> is intended for use with natural
 * languages only. Do not use this class to tokenize a programming language.
 *
 * <P>
 * <strong>Examples</strong>:<P>
 * Creating and using text boundaries
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void main(String args[]) {
 *      if (args.length == 1) {
 *          String stringToExamine = args[0];
 *          //print each word in order
 *          BreakIterator boundary = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
 *          boundary.setText(stringToExamine);
 *          printEachForward(boundary, stringToExamine);
 *          //print each sentence in reverse order
 *          boundary = BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance(Locale.US);
 *          boundary.setText(stringToExamine);
 *          printEachBackward(boundary, stringToExamine);
 *          printFirst(boundary, stringToExamine);
 *          printLast(boundary, stringToExamine);
 *      }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Print each element in order
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void printEachForward(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
 *     int start = boundary.first();
 *     for (int end = boundary.next();
 *          end != BreakIterator.DONE;
 *          start = end, end = boundary.next()) {
 *          System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Print each element in reverse order
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void printEachBackward(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
 *     int end = boundary.last();
 *     for (int start = boundary.previous();
 *          start != BreakIterator.DONE;
 *          end = start, start = boundary.previous()) {
 *         System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Print first element
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void printFirst(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
 *     int start = boundary.first();
 *     int end = boundary.next();
 *     System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Print last element
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void printLast(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
 *     int end = boundary.last();
 *     int start = boundary.previous();
 *     System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Print the element at a specified position
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static void printAt(BreakIterator boundary, int pos, String source) {
 *     int end = boundary.following(pos);
 *     int start = boundary.previous();
 *     System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Find the next word
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static int nextWordStartAfter(int pos, String text) {
 *     BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
 *     wb.setText(text);
 *     int last = wb.following(pos);
 *     int current = wb.next();
 *     while (current != BreakIterator.DONE) {
 *         for (int p = last; p < current; p++) {
 *             if (Character.isLetter(text.codePointAt(p))
 *                 return last;
 *         }
 *         last = current;
 *         current = wb.next();
 *     }
 *     return BreakIterator.DONE;
 * }
 * </pre>
 * (The iterator returned by BreakIterator.getWordInstance() is unique in that
 * the break positions it returns don't represent both the start and end of the
 * thing being iterated over.  That is, a sentence-break iterator returns breaks
 * that each represent the end of one sentence and the beginning of the next.
 * With the word-break iterator, the characters between two boundaries might be a
 * word, or they might be the punctuation or whitespace between two words.  The
 * above code uses a simple heuristic to determine which boundary is the beginning
 * of a word: If the characters between this boundary and the next boundary
 * include at least one letter (this can be an alphabetical letter, a CJK ideograph,
 * a Hangul syllable, a Kana character, etc.), then the text between this boundary
 * and the next is a word; otherwise, it's the material between words.)
