/**
* 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.
*
* <p>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.</p>
*
* <p>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>.<br>
* It provides next32PostInc() to access a code point and advance an internal
* position.</p>
*
* <p>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().</p>
*
* <p>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) {
* char16_t c;
* while((c=it.nextPostInc())!=ForwardCharacterIterator::DONE) {
* // use c
* }
* }
* \endcode
* </p>

/**
* 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.
*
* <p>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.</p>
*
* <p>Examples for some of the new functions:</p>
*
* 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) {
* char16_t 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) {
* char16_t 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
* char16_t 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
*
* <p>Examples, especially for the old API:</p>
*
* Function processing characters, in this example simple output
* <pre>
* \code
* void processChar( char16_t c )
* {
* cout << " " << c;
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Traverse the text from start to finish
* <pre>
* \code
* void traverseForward(CharacterIterator& iter)
* {
* for(char16_t 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(char16_t 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)
* {
* char16_t 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;
* traverseBackward( iterator );
* cout << endl << endl << "----- traverseOut: ---------------" << endl;
* traverseOut( iterator, 7 );
* cout << endl << endl << "-----" << endl;
* }
* \endcode
