/**
 * The Builder class has the job of constructing a RuleBasedBreakIterator from a
 * textual description.  A Builder is constructed by RuleBasedBreakIterator's
 * constructor, which uses it to construct the iterator itself and then throws it
 * away.
 * <p>The construction logic is separated out into its own class for two primary
 * reasons:
 * <ul><li>The construction logic is quite complicated and large.  Separating it
 * out into its own class means the code must only be loaded into memory while a
 * RuleBasedBreakIterator is being constructed, and can be purged after that.
 * <li>There is a fair amount of state that must be maintained throughout the
 * construction process that is not needed by the iterator after construction.
 * Separating this state out into another class prevents all of the functions that
 * construct the iterator from having to have really long parameter lists,
 * (hopefully) contributing to readability and maintainability.</ul>
 * <p>It'd be really nice if this could be an independent class rather than an
 * inner class, because that would shorten the source file considerably, but
 * making Builder an inner class of RuleBasedBreakIterator allows it direct access
 * to RuleBasedBreakIterator's private members, which saves us from having to
 * provide some kind of "back door" to the Builder class that could then also be
 * used by other classes.
