/**
 * Abstract class that defines an API for forward-only iteration
 * on text objects.
 * This is a minimal interface for iteration without random access
 * or backwards iteration. It is especially useful for wrapping
 * streams with converters into an object for collation or
 * normalization.
 *
 * Characters can be accessed in two ways: as code units or as
 * code points.
 * Unicode code points are 21-bit integers and are the scalar values
 * of Unicode characters. ICU uses the type UChar32 for them.
 * Unicode code units are the storage units of a given
 * Unicode/UCS Transformation Format (a character encoding scheme).
 * With UTF-16, all code points can be represented with either one
 * or two code units ("surrogates").
 * String storage is typically based on code units, while properties
 * of characters are typically determined using code point values.
 * Some processes may be designed to work with sequences of code units,
 * or it may be known that all characters that are important to an
 * algorithm can be represented with single code units.
 * Other processes will need to use the code point access functions.
 *
 * ForwardCharacterIterator provides nextPostInc() to access
 * a code unit and advance an internal position into the text object,
 * similar to a <code>return text[position++]</code>. 
 * It provides next32PostInc() to access a code point and advance an internal
 * position.
 *
 * next32PostInc() assumes that the current position is that of
 * the beginning of a code point, i.e., of its first code unit.
 * After next32PostInc(), this will be true again.
 * In general, access to code units and code points in the same
 * iteration loop should not be mixed. In UTF-16, if the current position
 * is on a second code unit (Low Surrogate), then only that code unit
 * is returned even by next32PostInc().
 *
 * For iteration with either function, there are two ways to
 * check for the end of the iteration. When there are no more
 * characters in the text object:
 * <ul>
 * <li>The hasNext() function returns FALSE.</li>
 * <li>nextPostInc() and next32PostInc() return DONE
 * when one attempts to read beyond the end of the text object.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * Example:
 * \code 
 * void function1(ForwardCharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar32 c;
 * while(it.hasNext()) {
 * c=it.next32PostInc();
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 *
 * void function1(ForwardCharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar c;
 * while((c=it.nextPostInc())!=ForwardCharacterIterator::DONE) {
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *

/**
 * Abstract class that defines an API for iteration
 * on text objects.
 * This is an interface for forward and backward iteration
 * and random access into a text object.
 *
 * The API provides backward compatibility to the Java and older ICU
 * CharacterIterator classes but extends them significantly:
 * <ol>
 * <li>CharacterIterator is now a subclass of ForwardCharacterIterator.</li>
 * <li>While the old API functions provided forward iteration with
 * "pre-increment" semantics, the new one also provides functions
 * with "post-increment" semantics. They are more efficient and should
 * be the preferred iterator functions for new implementations.
 * The backward iteration always had "pre-decrement" semantics, which
 * are efficient.</li>
 * <li>Just like ForwardCharacterIterator, it provides access to
 * both code units and code points. Code point access versions are available
 * for the old and the new iteration semantics.</li>
 * <li>There are new functions for setting and moving the current position
 * without returning a character, for efficiency.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * See ForwardCharacterIterator for examples for using the new forward iteration
 * functions. For backward iteration, there is also a hasPrevious() function
 * that can be used analogously to hasNext().
 * The old functions work as before and are shown below.
 *
 * Examples for some of the new functions:
 *
 * Forward iteration with hasNext():
 * \code
 * void forward1(CharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar32 c;
 * for(it.setToStart(); it.hasNext();) {
 * c=it.next32PostInc();
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * Forward iteration more similar to loops with the old forward iteration,
 * showing a way to convert simple for() loops:
 * \code
 * void forward2(CharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar c;
 * for(c=it.firstPostInc(); c!=CharacterIterator::DONE; c=it.nextPostInc()) {
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * Backward iteration with setToEnd() and hasPrevious():
 * \code
 * void backward1(CharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar32 c;
 * for(it.setToEnd(); it.hasPrevious();) {
 * c=it.previous32();
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * Backward iteration with a more traditional for() loop:
 * \code
 * void backward2(CharacterIterator &it) {
 * UChar c;
 * for(c=it.last(); c!=CharacterIterator::DONE; c=it.previous()) {
 * // use c
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Example for random access:
 * \code
 * void random(CharacterIterator &it) {
 * // set to the third code point from the beginning
 * it.move32(3, CharacterIterator::kStart);
 * // get a code point from here without moving the position
 * UChar32 c=it.current32();
 * // get the position
 * int32_t pos=it.getIndex();
 * // get the previous code unit
 * UChar u=it.previous();
 * // move back one more code unit
 * it.move(-1, CharacterIterator::kCurrent);
 * // set the position back to where it was
 * // and read the same code point c and move beyond it
 * it.setIndex(pos);
 * if(c!=it.next32PostInc()) {
 * exit(1); // CharacterIterator inconsistent
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Examples, especially for the old API:
 *
 * Function processing characters, in this example simple output
 * <pre>
 * \code
 * void processChar( UChar c )
 * {
 * cout << " " << c;
 * }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Traverse the text from start to finish
 * <pre> 
 * \code
 * void traverseForward(CharacterIterator& iter)
 * {
 * for(UChar c = iter.first(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.next()) {
 * processChar(c);
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Traverse the text backwards, from end to start
 * <pre>
 * \code
 * void traverseBackward(CharacterIterator& iter)
 * {
 * for(UChar c = iter.last(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.previous()) {
 * processChar(c);
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Traverse both forward and backward from a given position in the text. 
 * Calls to notBoundary() in this example represents some additional stopping criteria.
 * <pre>
 * \code
 * void traverseOut(CharacterIterator& iter, int32_t pos)
 * {
 * UChar c;
 * for (c = iter.setIndex(pos);
 * c != CharacterIterator.DONE && (Unicode::isLetter(c) || Unicode::isDigit(c));
 * c = iter.next()) {}
 * int32_t end = iter.getIndex();
 * for (c = iter.setIndex(pos);
 * c != CharacterIterator.DONE && (Unicode::isLetter(c) || Unicode::isDigit(c));
 * c = iter.previous()) {}
 * int32_t start = iter.getIndex() + 1;
 * 
 * cout << "start: " << start << " end: " << end << endl;
 * for (c = iter.setIndex(start); iter.getIndex() < end; c = iter.next() ) {
 * processChar(c);
 * }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Creating a StringCharacterIterator and calling the test functions
 * <pre>
 * \code
 * void CharacterIterator_Example( void )
 * {
 * cout << endl << "===== CharacterIterator_Example: =====" << endl;
 * UnicodeString text("Ein kleiner Satz.");
 * StringCharacterIterator iterator(text);
 * cout << "----- traverseForward: -----------" << endl;
 * traverseForward( iterator );
 * cout << endl << endl << "----- traverseBackward: ----------" << endl;
