/**
* <tt>ComposedCharIter</tt> is an iterator class that returns all
* of the precomposed characters defined in the Unicode standard, along
* with their decomposed forms. This is often useful when building
* data tables (<i>e.g.</i> collation tables) which need to treat composed
* and decomposed characters equivalently.
* <p>
* For example, imagine that you have built a collation table with ordering
* rules for the {@link Normalizer#DECOMP canonically decomposed} forms of all
* characters used in a particular language. When you process input text using
* this table, the text must first be decomposed so that it matches the form
* used in the table. This can impose a performance penalty that may be
* unacceptable in some situations.
* <p>
* You can avoid this problem by ensuring that the collation table contains
* rules for both the decomposed <i>and</i> composed versions of each character.
* To do so, use a <tt>ComposedCharIter</tt> to iterate through all of the
* composed characters in Unicode. If the decomposition for that character
* consists solely of characters that are listed in your ruleset, you can
* add a new rule for the composed character that makes it equivalent to
* its decomposition sequence.
* <p>
* Note that <tt>ComposedCharIter</tt> iterates over a <em>static</em> table
* of the composed characters in Unicode. If you want to iterate over the
* composed characters in a particular string, use {@link Normalizer} instead.
* <p>
* When constructing a <tt>ComposedCharIter</tt> there is one
* optional feature that you can enable or disable:
* <ul>
* <li>{@link Normalizer#IGNORE_HANGUL} - Do not iterate over the Hangul
* characters and their corresponding Jamo decompositions.
* This option is off by default (<i>i.e.</i> Hangul processing is enabled)
* since the Unicode standard specifies that Hangul to Jamo
* is a canonical decomposition.
* </ul>
* <p>
* <tt>ComposedCharIter</tt> is currently based on version 2.1.8 of the
* <a href="http://www.unicode.org" target="unicode">Unicode Standard</a>.
* It will be updated as later versions of Unicode are released.
