/**
 * A concrete implementation class for {@code Collation}.
 * <p>
 * {@code RuleBasedCollator} has the following restrictions for efficiency
 * (other subclasses may be used for more complex languages):
 * <ol>
 * <li> If a French secondary ordering is specified it applies to the whole
 * collator object.</li>
 * <li> All non-mentioned Unicode characters are at the end of the collation
 * order.</li>
 * <li> If a character is not located in the {@code RuleBasedCollator}, the
 * default Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) rule-based table is automatically
 * searched as a backup.</li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * The collation table is composed of a list of collation rules, where each rule
 * is of three forms:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;modifier&gt;
 * &lt;relation&gt; &lt;text-argument&gt;
 * &lt;reset&gt; &lt;text-argument&gt;
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The rule elements are defined as follows:
 * <ul type="disc">
 * <li><strong>Modifier</strong>: There is a single modifier which is used to
 * specify that all accents (secondary differences) are backwards:
 * <ul type=square>
 * <li>'@' : Indicates that accents are sorted backwards, as in French.
 * </ul>
 * </li>
 * <li><strong>Relation</strong>: The relations are the following:
 * <ul type=square>
 * <li>'&lt;' : Greater, as a letter difference (primary)
 * <li>';' : Greater, as an accent difference (secondary)
 * <li>',' : Greater, as a case difference (tertiary)
 * <li>'=' : Equal
 * </ul>
 * </li>
 * <li><strong>Text-Argument</strong>: A text-argument is any sequence of
 * characters, excluding special characters (that is, common whitespace
 * characters [0009-000D, 0020] and rule syntax characters [0021-002F,
 * 003A-0040, 005B-0060, 007B-007E]). If those characters are desired, you can
 * put them in single quotes (for example, use '&amp;' for ampersand). Note that
 * unquoted white space characters are ignored; for example, {@code b c} is
 * treated as {@code bc}.</li>
 * <li><strong>Reset</strong>: There is a single reset which is used primarily
 * for contractions and expansions, but which can also be used to add a
 * modification at the end of a set of rules:
 * <ul type=square>
 * <li>'&amp;' : Indicates that the next rule follows the position to where the reset
 * text-argument would be sorted.
 * </ul>
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * This sounds more complicated than it is in practice. For example, the
 * following are equivalent ways of expressing the same thing:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * a < b < c
 * a < b & b < c
 * a < c & a < b
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * Notice that the order is important, as the subsequent item goes immediately
 * after the text-argument. The following are not equivalent:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * a < b & a < c
 * a < c & a < b
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * Either the text-argument must already be present in the sequence, or some
 * initial substring of the text-argument must be present. For example
 * {@code "a < b & ae < e"} is valid since "a" is present in the sequence before
 * "ae" is reset. In this latter case, "ae" is not entered and treated as a
 * single character; instead, "e" is sorted as if it were expanded to two
 * characters: "a" followed by an "e". This difference appears in natural
 * languages: in traditional Spanish "ch" is treated as if it contracts to a
 * single character (expressed as {@code "c < ch < d"}), while in traditional
 * German a-umlaut is treated as if it expands to two characters (expressed as
 * {@code "a,A < b,B  ... & ae;\u00e3 & AE;\u00c3"}, where \u00e3 and \u00c3
 * are the escape sequences for a-umlaut).
 * <h4>Ignorable Characters</h4>
 * <p>
 * For ignorable characters, the first rule must start with a relation (the
 * examples we have used above are really fragments; {@code "a < b"} really
 * should be {@code "< a < b"}). If, however, the first relation is not
 * {@code "<"}, then all text-arguments up to the first {@code "<"} are
 * ignorable. For example, {@code ", - < a < b"} makes {@code "-"} an ignorable
 * character.
 * <h4>Normalization and Accents</h4>
 * <p>
 * {@code RuleBasedCollator} automatically processes its rule table to include
 * both pre-composed and combining-character versions of accented characters.
 * Even if the provided rule string contains only base characters and separate
 * combining accent characters, the pre-composed accented characters matching
 * all canonical combinations of characters from the rule string will be entered
 * in the table.
 * <p>
 * This allows you to use a RuleBasedCollator to compare accented strings even
 * when the collator is set to NO_DECOMPOSITION. However, if the strings to be
 * collated contain combining sequences that may not be in canonical order, you
 * should set the collator to CANONICAL_DECOMPOSITION to enable sorting of
 * combining sequences. For more information, see <a
 * href="http://www.aw.com/devpress">The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0</a>.
 * <h4>Errors</h4>
 * <p>
 * The following rules are not valid:
 * <ul type="disc">
 * <li>A text-argument contains unquoted punctuation symbols, for example
 * {@code "a < b-c < d"}.</li>
 * <li>A relation or reset character is not followed by a text-argument, for
 * example {@code "a < , b"}.</li>
 * <li>A reset where the text-argument (or an initial substring of the
 * text-argument) is not already in the sequence or allocated in the default UCA
 * table, for example {@code "a < b & e < f"}.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * If you produce one of these errors, {@code RuleBasedCollator} throws a
 * {@code ParseException}.
 * <h4>Examples</h4>
 * <p>
 * Normally, to create a rule-based collator object, you will use
 * {@code Collator}'s factory method {@code getInstance}. However, to create a
 * rule-based collator object with specialized rules tailored to your needs, you
 * construct the {@code RuleBasedCollator} with the rules contained in a
 * {@code String} object. For example:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * String Simple = "< a < b < c < d";
 * RuleBasedCollator mySimple = new RuleBasedCollator(Simple);
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * Or:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * String Norwegian = "< a,A< b,B< c,C< d,D< e,E< f,F< g,G< h,H< i,I"
 *         + "< j,J< k,K< l,L< m,M< n,N< o,O< p,P< q,Q< r,R"
 *         + "< s,S< t,T< u,U< v,V< w,W< x,X< y,Y< z,Z"
 *         + "< \u00E5=a\u030A,\u00C5=A\u030A"
 *         + ";aa,AA< \u00E6,\u00C6< \u00F8,\u00D8";
 * RuleBasedCollator myNorwegian = new RuleBasedCollator(Norwegian);
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * Combining {@code Collator}s is as simple as concatenating strings. Here is
 * an example that combines two {@code Collator}s from two different locales:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * // Create an en_US Collator object
 * RuleBasedCollator en_USCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator
 *         .getInstance(new Locale("en", "US", ""));
 *
 * // Create a da_DK Collator object
 * RuleBasedCollator da_DKCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator
 *         .getInstance(new Locale("da", "DK", ""));
 *
 * // Combine the two collators
 * // First, get the collation rules from en_USCollator
 * String en_USRules = en_USCollator.getRules();
 *
 * // Second, get the collation rules from da_DKCollator
 * String da_DKRules = da_DKCollator.getRules();
 *
 * RuleBasedCollator newCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(en_USRules + da_DKRules);
 * // newCollator has the combined rules
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The next example shows to make changes on an existing table to create a new
 * {@code Collator} object. For example, add {@code "& C < ch, cH, Ch, CH"} to
 * the {@code en_USCollator} object to create your own:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * // Create a new Collator object with additional rules
 * String addRules = "& C < ch, cH, Ch, CH";
 *
 * RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(en_USCollator + addRules);
 * // myCollator contains the new rules
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The following example demonstrates how to change the order of non-spacing
 * accents:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * // old rule
 * String oldRules = "= \u00a8 ; \u00af ; \u00bf" + "< a , A ; ae, AE ; \u00e6 , \u00c6"
 *         + "< b , B < c, C < e, E & C < d, D";
 *
 * // change the order of accent characters
 * String addOn = "& \u00bf ; \u00af ; \u00a8;";
 *
 * RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(oldRules + addOn);
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The last example shows how to put new primary ordering in before the default
 * setting. For example, in the Japanese {@code Collator}, you can either sort
 * English characters before or after Japanese characters:
 * <blockquote>
 *
 * <pre>
 * // get en_US Collator rules
 * RuleBasedCollator en_USCollator = (RuleBasedCollator)
 *     Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);
 *
 * // add a few Japanese character to sort before English characters
 * // suppose the last character before the first base letter 'a' in
 * // the English collation rule is \u30A2
 * String jaString = "& \u30A2 , \u30FC < \u30C8";
 *
 * RuleBasedCollator myJapaneseCollator =
 *     new RuleBasedCollator(en_USCollator.getRules() + jaString);
 * </pre>
 *
 * </blockquote>
