/**
* 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>
* The text boundary positions are found according to the rules
* described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and
* Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties. These
* are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and
* http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/.
* <p>
* In addition to the C++ API defined in this header file, a
* plain C API with equivalent functionality is defined in the
* file ubrk.h
* <p>
* Code snippets illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs
* are available in the ICU User Guide,
* http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html
* and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp
