* "ca" -> the first key is key('c') and second key is key('a').
* "cha" -> the first key is key('ch') and second key is key('a').
* And in German phonebook collation,
* \htmlonly "æb"-> the first key is key('a'), the second key is key('e'), and
* the third key is key('b'). \endhtmlonly
* The key of a character, is an integer composed of primary order(short),
* secondary order(char), and tertiary order(char). Java strictly defines the
* size and signedness of its primitive data types. Therefore, the static
* functions primaryOrder(), secondaryOrder(), and tertiaryOrder() return
* int32_t to ensure the correctness of the key value.
* Example of the iterator usage: (without error checking) *
* \code
* void CollationElementIterator_Example()
* {
* UnicodeString str = "This is a test";
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* RuleBasedCollator* rbc =
* (RuleBasedCollator*) RuleBasedCollator::createInstance(success);
* CollationElementIterator* c =
* rbc->createCollationElementIterator( str );
* int32_t order = c->next(success);
* c->reset();
* order = c->previous(success);
* delete c;
* delete rbc;
* }
* \endcode
*
* * The method next() returns the collation order of the next character based on * the comparison level of the collator. The method previous() returns the * collation order of the previous character based on the comparison level of * the collator. The Collation Element Iterator moves only in one direction * between calls to reset(), setOffset(), or setText(). That is, next() * and previous() can not be inter-used. Whenever previous() is to be called after * next() or vice versa, reset(), setOffset() or setText() has to be called first * to reset the status, shifting pointers to either the end or the start of * the string (reset() or setText()), or the specified position (setOffset()). * Hence at the next call of next() or previous(), the first or last collation order, * or collation order at the spefcifieid position will be returned. If a change of * direction is done without one of these calls, the result is undefined. *
* The result of a forward iterate (next()) and reversed result of the backward
* iterate (previous()) on the same string are equivalent, if collation orders
* with the value 0 are ignored.
* Character based on the comparison level of the collator. A collation order
* consists of primary order, secondary order and tertiary order. The data
* type of the collation order is int32_t.
*
* Note, CollationElementIterator should not be subclassed.
