/**
 * Performs locale-sensitive string comparison. A concrete subclass,
 * {@link RuleBasedCollator}, allows customization of the collation ordering by
 * the use of rule sets.
 * 

 * Following the Unicode Consortium's
 * specifications for the  Unicode Collation
 * Algorithm (UCA), there are 4 different levels of strength used in
 * comparisons:
 * 
    
 * 
  • PRIMARY strength: Typically, this is used to denote differences between
 * base characters (for example, "a" < "b"). It is the strongest difference.
 * For example, dictionaries are divided into different sections by base
 * character.
 * 
  • SECONDARY strength: Accents in the characters are considered secondary
 * differences (for example, "as" < "às" < "at"). Other differences
 * between letters can also be considered secondary differences, depending on
 * the language. A secondary difference is ignored when there is a primary
 * difference anywhere in the strings.
 * 
  • TERTIARY strength: Upper and lower case differences in characters are
 * distinguished at tertiary strength (for example, "ao" < "Ao" <
 * "aò"). In addition, a variant of a letter differs from the base form
 * on the tertiary strength (such as "A" and "Ⓐ"). Another example is the
 * difference between large and small Kana. A tertiary difference is ignored
 * when there is a primary or secondary difference anywhere in the strings.
 * 
  • IDENTICAL strength: When all other strengths are equal, the IDENTICAL
 * strength is used as a tiebreaker. The Unicode code point values of the NFD
 * form of each string are compared, just in case there is no difference. For
 * example, Hebrew cantellation marks are only distinguished at this strength.
 * This strength should be used sparingly, as only code point value differences
 * between two strings are an extremely rare occurrence. Using this strength
 * substantially decreases the performance for both comparison and collation key
 * generation APIs. This strength also increases the size of the collation key.
 * 

 * 

 * This {@code Collator} deals only with two decomposition modes, the canonical
 * decomposition mode and one that does not use any decomposition. The
 * compatibility decomposition mode
 * {@code java.text.Collator.FULL_DECOMPOSITION} is not supported here. If the
 * canonical decomposition mode is set, {@code Collator} handles un-normalized
 * text properly, producing the same results as if the text were normalized in
 * NFD. If canonical decomposition is turned off, it is the user's
 * responsibility to ensure that all text is already in the appropriate form
 * before performing a comparison or before getting a {@link CollationKey}.
 * 

 * Examples:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * // Get the Collator for US English and set its strength to PRIMARY
 * Collator usCollator = Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);
 * usCollator.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY);
 * if (usCollator.compare("abc", "ABC") == 0) {
 *     System.out.println("Strings are equivalent");
 * }
 * 

 *
 * 

 * 

 * The following example shows how to compare two strings using the collator for
 * the default locale.
 * 

 *
 * 
 * // Compare two strings in the default locale
 * Collator myCollator = Collator.getInstance();
 * myCollator.setDecomposition(Collator.NO_DECOMPOSITION);
 * if (myCollator.compare("\u00e0\u0325", "a\u0325\u0300") != 0) {
 *     System.out.println("\u00e0\u0325 is not equal to a\u0325\u0300 without decomposition");
 *     myCollator.setDecomposition(Collator.CANONICAL_DECOMPOSITION);
 *     if (myCollator.compare("\u00e0\u0325", "a\u0325\u0300") != 0) {
 *         System.out.println("Error: \u00e0\u0325 should be equal to a\u0325\u0300 with decomposition");
 *     } else {
 *         System.out.println("\u00e0\u0325 is equal to a\u0325\u0300 with decomposition");
 *     }
 * } else {
 *     System.out.println("Error: \u00e0\u0325 should be not equal to a\u0325\u0300 without decomposition");
 * }
 *
