/**
 * This interface defines a protocol for bidirectional iteration over text. The
 * iterator iterates over a bounded sequence of characters. Characters are
 * indexed with values beginning with the value returned by getBeginIndex() and
 * continuing through the value returned by getEndIndex()-1.
 * 

* Iterators maintain a current character index, whose valid range is from * getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex(); the value getEndIndex() is included to * allow handling of zero-length text ranges and for historical reasons. The * current index can be retrieved by calling getIndex() and set directly by * calling setIndex(), first(), and last(). *

* The methods previous() and next() are used for iteration. They return DONE if * they would move outside the range from getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex() -1, * signaling that the iterator has reached the end of the sequence. DONE is also * returned by other methods to indicate that the current index is outside this * range. * *

* Examples: *

* * Traverse the text from start to finish * *

 * public void traverseForward(CharacterIterator iter) {
 * 	for (char c = iter.first(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.next()) {
 * 		processChar(c);
 * 	}
 * }
 * 
* * Traverse the text backwards, from end to start * *
 * public void traverseBackward(CharacterIterator iter) {
 * 	for (char c = iter.last(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.previous()) {
 * 		processChar(c);
 * 	}
 * }
 * 
* * Traverse both forward and backward from a given position in the text. Calls * to notBoundary() in this example represents some additional stopping * criteria. * *
 * public void traverseOut(CharacterIterator iter, int pos) {
 * 	for (char c = iter.setIndex(pos); c != CharacterIterator.DONE
 * 			&& notBoundary(c); c = iter.next()) {
 * 	}
 * 	int end = iter.getIndex();
 * 	for (char c = iter.setIndex(pos); c != CharacterIterator.DONE
 * 			&& notBoundary(c); c = iter.previous()) {
 * 	}
 * 	int start = iter.getIndex();
 * 	processSection(start, end);
 * }
