* enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
* localize the error.
*
* <p>The code field is an integer error code specific to each parsing
* engine, but globally unique. See the engine header file for
* possible values. The line, offset, and context fields are
* optional; parsing engines may choose not to use to use them.
*
* <p>Examples of engines which use ParseError (or may use it in the
* future) are RuleBasedTransliterator and RuleBasedBreakIterator.
