 * \brief C API: BreakIterator
 *
 * <h2> BreakIterator C API </h2>
 *
 * The BreakIterator C API defines  methods for finding the location
 * of boundaries in text. Pointer to a UBreakIterator maintain a
 * current position and scan over text returning the index of characters
 * where boundaries occur.
 * <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>
 * Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
 * typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
 * when title casing the text.
 * <P>
 * 
 * This is the interface for all text boundaries.
 * <P>
 * Examples:
 * <P>
 * Helper function to output text
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printTextRange(UChar* str, int32_t start, int32_t end ) {
 *         UChar* result;
 *         UChar* temp;
 *         const char* res;
 *         temp=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * ((u_strlen(str)-start)+1));
 *         result=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * ((end-start)+1));
 *         u_strcpy(temp, &str[start]);
 *         u_strncpy(result, temp, end-start);
 *         res=(char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * (u_strlen(result)+1));
 *         u_austrcpy(res, result);
 *         printf("%s\n", res);
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Print each element in order:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printEachForward( UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
 *       int32_t end;
 *       int32_t start = ubrk_first(boundary);
 *       for (end = ubrk_next(boundary)); end != UBRK_DONE; start = end, end = ubrk_next(boundary)) {
 *             printTextRange(str, start, end );
 *         }
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Print each element in reverse order:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printEachBackward( UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
 *       int32_t start;
 *       int32_t end = ubrk_last(boundary);
 *       for (start = ubrk_previous(boundary); start != UBRK_DONE;  end = start, start =ubrk_previous(boundary)) {
 *             printTextRange( str, start, end );
 *         }
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Print first element
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printFirst(UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
 *        int32_t end;
 *        int32_t start = ubrk_first(boundary);
 *        end = ubrk_next(boundary);
 *        printTextRange( str, start, end );
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Print last element
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printLast(UBreakIterator* boundary, UChar* str) {
 *        int32_t start;
 *        int32_t end = ubrk_last(boundary);
 *        start = ubrk_previous(boundary);
 *        printTextRange(str, start, end );
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Print the element at a specified position
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    void printAt(UBreakIterator* boundary, int32_t pos , UChar* str) {
 *        int32_t start;
 *        int32_t end = ubrk_following(boundary, pos);
 *        start = ubrk_previous(boundary);
 *        printTextRange(str, start, end );
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Creating and using text boundaries
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *       void BreakIterator_Example( void ) {
 *           UBreakIterator* boundary;
 *           UChar *stringToExamine;
