/**
* The BreakIterator class implements methods for finding the location
* of boundaries in text. BreakIterator is an abstract base class.
* Instances of BreakIterator 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>
* This is the interface for all text boundaries.
* <P>
* Examples:
* <P>
* Helper function to output text
* <pre>
* \code
* void printTextRange( BreakIterator& iterator, int32_t start, int32_t end )
* {
* UnicodeString textBuffer, temp;
* CharacterIterator *strIter = iterator.createText();
* strIter->getText(temp);
* cout << " " << start << " " << end << " |"
* << temp.extractBetween(start, end, textBuffer)
* << "|" << endl;
* delete strIter;
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print each element in order:
* <pre>
* \code
* void printEachForward( BreakIterator& boundary)
* {
* int32_t start = boundary.first();
* for (int32_t end = boundary.next();
* end != BreakIterator::DONE;
* start = end, end = boundary.next())
* {
* printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
* }
* }
* \code
* </pre>
* Print each element in reverse order:
* <pre>
* \code
* void printEachBackward( BreakIterator& boundary)
* {
* int32_t end = boundary.last();
* for (int32_t start = boundary.previous();
* start != BreakIterator::DONE;
* end = start, start = boundary.previous())
* {
* printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
* }
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print first element
* <pre>
* \code
* void printFirst(BreakIterator& boundary)
* {
* int32_t start = boundary.first();
* int32_t end = boundary.next();
* printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print last element
* <pre>
* \code
* void printLast(BreakIterator& boundary)
* {
* int32_t end = boundary.last();
* int32_t start = boundary.previous();
* printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Print the element at a specified position
* <pre>
* \code
* void printAt(BreakIterator &boundary, int32_t pos )
* {
* int32_t end = boundary.following(pos);
* int32_t start = boundary.previous();
* printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Creating and using text boundaries
* <pre>
* \code
* void BreakIterator_Example( void )
* {
* BreakIterator* boundary;
* UnicodeString stringToExamine("Aaa bbb ccc. Ddd eee fff.");
* cout << "Examining: " << stringToExamine << endl;
*
* //print each sentence in forward and reverse order
* boundary = BreakIterator::createSentenceInstance( Locale::US );
* boundary->setText(stringToExamine);
* cout << "----- forward: -----------" << endl;
* printEachForward(*boundary);
* cout << "----- backward: ----------" << endl;
* printEachBackward(*boundary);
* delete boundary;
*
* //print each word in order
* boundary = BreakIterator::createWordInstance();
* boundary->setText(stringToExamine);

* printEachForward(*boundary);
* //print first element
* cout << "----- first: -------------" << endl;
* printFirst(*boundary);
