/**
* An InputMethodHighlight is used to describe the highlight
* attributes of text being composed.
* The description can be at two levels:
* at the abstract level it specifies the conversion state and whether the
* text is selected; at the concrete level it specifies style attributes used
* to render the highlight.
* An InputMethodHighlight must provide the description at the
* abstract level; it may or may not provide the description at the concrete
* level.
* If no concrete style is provided, a renderer should use
* {@link java.awt.Toolkit#mapInputMethodHighlight} to map to a concrete style.
* <p>
* The abstract description consists of three fields: <code>selected</code>,
* <code>state</code>, and <code>variation</code>.
* <code>selected</code> indicates whether the text range is the one that the
* input method is currently working on, for example, the segment for which
* conversion candidates are currently shown in a menu.
* <code>state</code> represents the conversion state. State values are defined
* by the input method framework and should be distinguished in all
* mappings from abstract to concrete styles. Currently defined state values
* are raw (unconverted) and converted.
* These state values are recommended for use before and after the
* main conversion step of text composition, say, before and after kana->kanji
* or pinyin->hanzi conversion.
* The <code>variation</code> field allows input methods to express additional
* information about the conversion results. 
* <p>
* 
* InputMethodHighlight instances are typically used as attribute values
* returned from AttributedCharacterIterator for the INPUT_METHOD_HIGHLIGHT
* attribute. They may be wrapped into {@link java.text.Annotation Annotation}
* instances to indicate separate text segments.
