	/**
	* The {@code RuleBasedCollator} class is a concrete subclass of
	* {@code Collator} that provides a simple, data-driven, table
	* collator. With this class you can create a customized table-based
	* {@code Collator}. {@code RuleBasedCollator} maps
	* characters to sort keys.
	*
	* <p>
	* {@code RuleBasedCollator} has the following restrictions
	* for efficiency (other subclasses may be used for more complex languages) :
	* <ol>
	* <li>If a special collation rule controlled by a <modifier> is
	* specified it applies to the whole collator object.
	* <li>All non-mentioned characters are at the end of the
	* collation order.
	* </ol>
	*
	* <p>
	* The collation table is composed of a list of collation rules, where each
	* rule is of one of three forms:
	* <pre>
	* <modifier>
	* <relation> <text-argument>
	* <reset> <text-argument>
	* </pre>
	* The definitions of the rule elements is as follows:
	* <UL>
	* <LI><strong>Text-Argument</strong>: A text-argument is any sequence of
	* characters, excluding special characters (that is, common
	* whitespace characters [0009-000D, 0020] and rule syntax characters
	* [0021-002F, 003A-0040, 005B-0060, 007B-007E]). If those
	* characters are desired, you can put them in single quotes
	* (e.g. ampersand => '&'). Note that unquoted white space characters
	* are ignored; e.g. {@code b c} is treated as {@code bc}.
	* <LI><strong>Modifier</strong>: There are currently two modifiers that
	* turn on special collation rules.
	* <UL>
	* <LI>'@' : Turns on backwards sorting of accents (secondary
	* differences), as in French.
	* <LI>'!' : Turns on Thai/Lao vowel-consonant swapping. If this
	* rule is in force when a Thai vowel of the range
	* \U0E40-\U0E44 precedes a Thai consonant of the range
	* \U0E01-\U0E2E OR a Lao vowel of the range \U0EC0-\U0EC4
	* precedes a Lao consonant of the range \U0E81-\U0EAE then
	* the vowel is placed after the consonant for collation
	* purposes.
	* </UL>
	* <p>'@' : Indicates that accents are sorted backwards, as in French.
	* <LI><strong>Relation</strong>: The relations are the following:
	* <UL>
	* <LI>'<' : Greater, as a letter difference (primary)
	* <LI>';' : Greater, as an accent difference (secondary)
	* <LI>',' : Greater, as a case difference (tertiary)
	* <LI>'=' : Equal
	* </UL>
	* <LI><strong>Reset</strong>: There is a single reset
	* which is used primarily for contractions and expansions, but which
	* can also be used to add a modification at the end of a set of rules.
	* <p>'&' : Indicates that the next rule follows the position to where
	* the reset text-argument would be sorted.
	* </UL>
	*
	* <p>
	* This sounds more complicated than it is in practice. For example, the
	* following are equivalent ways of expressing the same thing:
	* <blockquote>
	* <pre>
	* a < b < c
	* a < b & b < c
	* a < c & a < b
	* </pre>
	* </blockquote>
	* Notice that the order is important, as the subsequent item goes immediately
	* after the text-argument. The following are not equivalent:
	* <blockquote>
	* <pre>
	* a < b & a < c
	* a < c & a < b
	* </pre>
	* </blockquote>
	* Either the text-argument must already be present in the sequence, or some
	* initial substring of the text-argument must be present. (e.g. "a < b & ae <
	* e" is valid since "a" is present in the sequence before "ae" is reset). In
	* this latter case, "ae" is not entered and treated as a single character;
	* instead, "e" is sorted as if it were expanded to two characters: "a"
	* followed by an "e". This difference appears in natural languages: in
	* traditional Spanish "ch" is treated as though it contracts to a single
	* character (expressed as "c < ch < d"), while in traditional German
	* a-umlaut is treated as though it expanded to two characters
	* (expressed as "a,A < b,B ... &ae;\u00e3&AE;\u00c3").
	* [\u00e3 and \u00c3 are, of course, the escape sequences for a-umlaut.]
	* <p>
	* <strong>Ignorable Characters</strong>
	* <p>
	* For ignorable characters, the first rule must start with a relation (the
	* examples we have used above are really fragments; "a < b" really should be
	* "< a < b"). If, however, the first relation is not "<", then all the all
	* text-arguments up to the first "<" are ignorable. For example, ", - < a < b"
	* makes "-" an ignorable character, as we saw earlier in the word
	* "black-birds". In the samples for different languages, you see that most
	* accents are ignorable.
	*
	* <p><strong>Normalization and Accents</strong>
	* <p>
	* {@code RuleBasedCollator} automatically processes its rule table to
	* include both pre-composed and combining-character versions of
	* accented characters. Even if the provided rule string contains only
	* base characters and separate combining accent characters, the pre-composed
	* accented characters matching all canonical combinations of characters from
	* the rule string will be entered in the table.
	* <p>
	* This allows you to use a RuleBasedCollator to compare accented strings
	* even when the collator is set to NO_DECOMPOSITION. There are two caveats,
	* however. First, if the strings to be collated contain combining
	* sequences that may not be in canonical order, you should set the collator to
	* CANONICAL_DECOMPOSITION or FULL_DECOMPOSITION to enable sorting of
	* combining sequences. Second, if the strings contain characters with
	* compatibility decompositions (such as full-width and half-width forms),
	* you must use FULL_DECOMPOSITION, since the rule tables only include
	* canonical mappings.
	*
	* <p><strong>Errors</strong>
	* <p>
	* The following are errors:
	* <UL>
	* <LI>A text-argument contains unquoted punctuation symbols
	* (e.g. "a < b-c < d").
	* <LI>A relation or reset character not followed by a text-argument
	* (e.g. "a < ,b").
	* <LI>A reset where the text-argument (or an initial substring of the
	* text-argument) is not already in the sequence.
	* (e.g. "a < b & e < f")
	* </UL>
	* If you produce one of these errors, a {@code RuleBasedCollator} throws
	* a {@code ParseException}.
	*
	* <p><strong>Examples</strong>
	* <p>Simple: "< a < b < c < d"
	* <p>Norwegian: "< a, A < b, B < c, C < d, D < e, E < f, F
	* < g, G < h, H < i, I < j, J < k, K < l, L
	* < m, M < n, N < o, O < p, P < q, Q < r, R
	* < s, S < t, T < u, U < v, V < w, W < x, X
	* < y, Y < z, Z
	* < \u00E6, \u00C6
	* < \u00F8, \u00D8
	* < \u00E5 = a\u030A, \u00C5 = A\u030A;
	* aa, AA"
	*
	* <p>
	* To create a {@code RuleBasedCollator} object with specialized
	* rules tailored to your needs, you construct the {@code RuleBasedCollator}
	* with the rules contained in a {@code String} object. For example:
	* <blockquote>
	* <pre>
	* String simple = "< a< b< c< d";
	* RuleBasedCollator mySimple = new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
	* </pre>
	* </blockquote>
	* Or:
	* <blockquote>
	* <pre>
	* String Norwegian = "< a, A < b, B < c, C < d, D < e, E < f, F < g, G < h, H < i, I" +
	* "< j, J < k, K < l, L < m, M < n, N < o, O < p, P < q, Q < r, R" +
	* "< s, S < t, T < u, U < v, V < w, W < x, X < y, Y < z, Z" +
	* "< \u00E6, \u00C6" + // Latin letter ae & AE
	* "< \u00F8, \u00D8" + // Latin letter o & O with stroke
	* "< \u00E5 = a\u030A," + // Latin letter a with ring above
	* " \u00C5 = A\u030A;" + // Latin letter A with ring above
	* " aa, AA";
	* RuleBasedCollator myNorwegian = new RuleBasedCollator(Norwegian);
	* </pre>
	* </blockquote>
	*
	* <p>
	* A new collation rules string can be created by concatenating rules
	* strings. For example, the rules returned by {@link #getRules()} could
	* be concatenated to combine multiple {@code RuleBasedCollator}s.
	*
	* <p>
	* The following example demonstrates how to change the order of
	* non-spacing accents,
	* <blockquote>
	* <pre>
	* // old rule
	* String oldRules = "=\u0301;\u0300;\u0302;\u0308" // main accents
	* + ";\u0327;\u0303;\u0304;\u0305" // main accents
	* + ";\u0306;\u0307;\u0309;\u030A" // main accents
	* + ";\u030B;\u030C;\u030D;\u030E" // main accents
	* + ";\u030F;\u0310;\u0311;\u0312" // main accents
	* + "< a , A ; ae, AE ; \u00e6 , \u00c6"
	* + "< b , B < c, C < e, E & C < d, D";
	* // change the order of accent characters
	* String addOn = "& \u0300 ; \u0308 ; \u0302";
	* RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(oldRules + addOn);
	* </pre>

	public class RuleBasedCollator extends Collator{
	// IMPLEMENTATION NOTES: The implementation of the collation algorithm is
	// divided across three classes: RuleBasedCollator, RBCollationTables, and
	// CollationElementIterator. RuleBasedCollator contains the collator's
	// transient state and includes the code that uses the other classes to
	// implement comparison and sort-key building. RuleBasedCollator also
	// contains the logic to handle French secondary accent sorting.
	// A RuleBasedCollator has two CollationElementIterators. State doesn't
	// need to be preserved in these objects between calls to compare() or
	// getCollationKey(), but the objects persist anyway to avoid wasting extra
	// creation time. compare() and getCollationKey() are synchronized to ensure
	// thread safety with this scheme. The CollationElementIterator is responsible
	// for generating collation elements from strings and returning one element at
	// a time (sometimes there's a one-to-many or many-to-one mapping between
	// characters and collation elements-- this class handles that).
	// CollationElementIterator depends on RBCollationTables, which contains the
	// collator's static state. RBCollationTables contains the actual data
	// tables specifying the collation order of characters for a particular locale
	// or use. It also contains the base logic that CollationElementIterator
	// uses to map from characters to collation elements. A single RBCollationTables
	// object is shared among all RuleBasedCollators for the same locale, and
	// thus by all the CollationElementIterators they create.

	// a three-digit number, one digit for primary, one for secondary, etc.
	//
	// String: A a B \u00e9 <--(e-acute)
	// Collation Elements: 101 100 201 510
	//
	// Collation Key: 1125<null>0001<null>1010
	//
	// To make things even trickier, secondary differences (accent marks) are compared
	// starting at the end of the string in languages with French secondary ordering.
	// But when comparing the accent marks on a single base character, they are compared
	// from the beginning. To handle this, we reverse all of the accents that belong
	// to each base character, then we reverse the entire string of secondary orderings
	// at the end. Taking the same example above, a French collator might return
	// this instead:
	//
	// Collation Key: 1125<null>1000<null>1010
