/**
* A CollationKey represents a String
* under the rules of a specific Collator
* object. Comparing two CollationKeys returns the
* relative order of the Strings they represent.
*
* Since the rule set of Collators can differ, the
* sort orders of the same string under two different
* Collators might differ. Hence comparing
* CollationKeys generated from different
* Collators can give incorrect results.
* Both the method
* CollationKey.compareTo(CollationKey) and the method
* Collator.compare(String, String) compare two strings
* and returns their relative order. The performance characterictics
* of these two approaches can differ.
*
* During the construction of a CollationKey, the
* entire source string is examined and processed into a series of
* bits terminated by a null, that are stored in the CollationKey.
* When CollationKey.compareTo(CollationKey) executes, it
* performs bitwise comparison on the bit sequences. This can incurs
* startup cost when creating the CollationKey, but once
* the key is created, binary comparisons are fast. This approach is
* recommended when the same strings are to be compared over and over
* again.
*
* On the other hand, implementations of
* Collator.compare(String, String) can examine and
* process the strings only until the first characters differing in
* order. This approach is recommended if the strings are to be
* compared only once.
*
* More information about the composition of the bit sequence can
* be found in the
*
* user guide.
*
* The following example shows how CollationKeys can be used
* to sort a list of Strings.
*
*
* // Create an array of CollationKeys for the Strings to be sorted.
* Collator myCollator = Collator.getInstance();
* CollationKey[] keys = new CollationKey[3];
* keys[0] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Tom");
* keys[1] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Dick");
* keys[2] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Harry");
* sort( keys );
*
* //...
*
* // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way
* if( keys[i].compareTo( keys[j] ) > 0 )
* // swap keys[i] and keys[j]
*
* //...
*
* // Finally, when we've returned from sort.
* System.out.println( keys[0].getSourceString() );
* System.out.println( keys[1].getSourceString() );
* System.out.println( keys[2].getSourceString() );
