/**
* 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>getWordInstance</code>, <code>getLineInstance</code>,
* <code>getSentenceInstance</code>, and <code>getCharacterInstance</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><a name="line"></a>
* Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be
* broken when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles
* punctuation and hyphenated words. Actual line breaking needs
* to also consider the available line width and is handled by
* higher-level software.
*
* <p><a name="sentence"></a>
* 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><a name="word"></a>
* 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><a name="character"></a>
* 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
* through character strings, regardless of how the character is stored.
* The boundaries returned may be those of supplementary characters,
* combining character sequences, or ligature clusters.
* 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>
* The <code>BreakIterator</code> instances returned by the factory methods
* of this class are intended for use with natural languages only, not for
* programming language text. It is however possible to define subclasses
* that 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.)
