 /**
  * This class is a concrete subclass of <code>Collator</code> suitable
  * for string collation in a wide variety of languages.  An instance of
  * this class is normally returned by the <code>getInstance</code> method
  * of <code>Collator</code> with rules predefined for the requested
  * locale.  However, an instance of this class can be created manually
  * with any desired rules.
  * <p>
  * Rules take the form of a <code>String</code> with the following syntax
  * <ul>
  * <li> Modifier: '@'
  * <li> Relation: '&lt;' | ';' | ',' | '=' : <text>
  * <li> Reset: '&amp;' : <text>
  * </ul>
  * The modifier character indicates that accents sort backward as is the
  * case with French.  The modifier applies to all rules <b>after</b>
  * the modifier but before the next primary sequence. If placed at the end
  * of the sequence if applies to all unknown accented character.
  * The relational operators specify how the text
  * argument relates to the previous term.  The relation characters have
  * the following meanings:
  * <ul>
  * <li>'&lt;' - The text argument is greater than the prior term at the primary
  * difference level.
  * <li>';' - The text argument is greater than the prior term at the secondary
  * difference level.
  * <li>',' - The text argument is greater than the prior term at the tertiary
  * difference level.
  * <li>'=' - The text argument is equal to the prior term
  * </ul>
  * <p>
  * As for the text argument itself, this is any sequence of Unicode
  * characters not in the following ranges: 0x0009-0x000D, 0x0020-0x002F,
  * 0x003A-0x0040, 0x005B-0x0060, and 0x007B-0x007E. If these characters are
  * desired, they must be enclosed in single quotes.  If any whitespace is
  * encountered, it is ignored.  (For example, "a b" is equal to "ab").
  * <p>
  * The reset operation inserts the following rule at the point where the
  * text argument to it exists in the previously declared rule string.  This
  * makes it easy to add new rules to an existing string by simply including
  * them in a reset sequence at the end.  Note that the text argument, or
  * at least the first character of it, must be present somewhere in the
  * previously declared rules in order to be inserted properly.  If this
  * is not satisfied, a <code>ParseException</code> will be thrown.
  * <p>
  * This system of configuring <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> is needlessly
  * complex and the people at Taligent who developed it (along with the folks
  * at Sun who accepted it into the Java standard library) deserve a slow
  * and agonizing death.
  * <p>
  * Here are a couple of example of rule strings:
  * <p>
  * "&lt; a &lt; b &lt; c" - This string says that a is greater than b which is
  * greater than c, with all differences being primary differences.
  * <p>
  * "&lt; a,A &lt; b,B &lt; c,C" - This string says that 'A' is greater than 'a' with
  * a tertiary strength comparison.  Both 'b' and 'B' are greater than 'a' and
  * 'A' during a primary strength comparison.  But 'B' is greater than 'b'
  * under a tertiary strength comparison.
  * <p>
  * "&lt; a &lt; c &amp; a &lt; b " - This sequence is identical in function to the
  * "&lt; a &lt; b &lt; c" rule string above.  The '&amp;' reset symbol indicates that
  * the rule "&lt; b" is to be inserted after the text argument "a" in the
  * previous rule string segment.
  * <p>
  * "&lt; a &lt; b &amp; y &lt; z" - This is an error.  The character 'y' does not appear
  * anywhere in the previous rule string segment so the rule following the
  * reset rule cannot be inserted.
  * <p>
  * "&lt; a &amp; A @ &lt; e &amp; E &lt; f&amp; F" - This sequence is equivalent to the following
  * "&lt; a &amp; A &lt; E &amp; e &lt; f &amp; F".
  * <p>
  * For a description of the various comparison strength types, see the
  * documentation for the <code>Collator</code> class.
  * <p>
  * As an additional complication to this already overly complex rule scheme,
  * if any characters precede the first rule, these characters are considered
  * ignorable.  They will be treated as if they did not exist during
  * comparisons.  For example, "- &lt; a &lt; b ..." would make '-' an ignorable
  * character such that the strings "high-tech" and "hightech" would
  * be considered identical.
  * <p>
  * A <code>ParseException</code> will be thrown for any of the following
  * conditions:
  * <ul>
  * <li>Unquoted punctuation characters in a text argument.
  * <li>A relational or reset operator not followed by a text argument
  * <li>A reset operator where the text argument is not present in
  * the previous rule string section.
  * </ul>

	* As for the text argument itself, this is any sequence of Unicode
	* characters not in the following ranges: 0x0009-0x000D, 0x0020-0x002F,
	* 0x003A-0x0040, 0x005B-0x0060, and 0x007B-0x007E. If these characters are
	* desired, they must be enclosed in single quotes. If any whitespace is
	* encountered, it is ignored. (For example, "a b" is equal to "ab").
	* <p>
	* The reset operation inserts the following rule at the point where the
	* text argument to it exists in the previously declared rule string. This
	* makes it easy to add new rules to an existing string by simply including
	* them in a reset sequence at the end. Note that the text argument, or
	* at least the first character of it, must be present somewhere in the
	* previously declared rules in order to be inserted properly. If this
	* is not satisfied, a <code>ParseException</code> will be thrown.
	* <p>
	* This system of configuring <code>RuleBasedCollator</code> is needlessly
	* complex and the people at Taligent who developed it (along with the folks
	* at Sun who accepted it into the Java standard library) deserve a slow
	* and agonizing death.
	* <p>
	* Here are a couple of example of rule strings:
	* <p>
	* "< a < b < c" - This string says that a is greater than b which is
	* greater than c, with all differences being primary differences.
	* <p>
	* "< a,A < b,B < c,C" - This string says that 'A' is greater than 'a' with
	* a tertiary strength comparison. Both 'b' and 'B' are greater than 'a' and
	* 'A' during a primary strength comparison. But 'B' is greater than 'b'
	* under a tertiary strength comparison.
	* <p>
	* "< a < c & a < b " - This sequence is identical in function to the
	* "< a < b < c" rule string above. The '&' reset symbol indicates that
	* the rule "< b" is to be inserted after the text argument "a" in the
	* previous rule string segment.
	* <p>
	* "< a < b & y < z" - This is an error. The character 'y' does not appear
	* anywhere in the previous rule string segment so the rule following the
	* reset rule cannot be inserted.
	* <p>
	* "< a & A @ < e & E < f& F" - This sequence is equivalent to the following
	* "< a & A < E & e < f & F".
	* <p>
	* For a description of the various comparison strength types, see the
	* documentation for the <code>Collator</code> class.
	* <p>
	* As an additional complication to this already overly complex rule scheme,
	* if any characters precede the first rule, these characters are considered
	* ignorable. They will be treated as if they did not exist during
	* comparisons. For example, "- < a < b ..." would make '-' an ignorable
	* character such that the strings "high-tech" and "hightech" would
	* be considered identical.
	* <p>
	* A <code>ParseException</code> will be thrown for any of the following
	* conditions:
	* <ul>
	* <li>Unquoted punctuation characters in a text argument.
	* <li>A relational or reset operator not followed by a text argument
	* <li>A reset operator where the text argument is not present in
	* the previous rule string section.
	* </ul>
