/**
 * Normalizing UCharIterator wrapper.
 * This internal API basically duplicates the functionality of the C++ Normalizer
 * but
 * - it actually implements a character iterator (UCharIterator)
 *   with few restrictions (see unorm_setIter())
 * - it supports UCharIterator getState()/setState()
 * - it uses lower-level APIs and buffers more text and states,
 *   hopefully resulting in higher performance
 *
 * Usage example:
 * \code
 * function(UCharIterator *srcIter) {
 *     UNormIterator *uni;
 *     UCharIterator *iter;
 *     UErrorCode errorCode;
 * 
 *     errorCode=U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     uni=unorm_openIter(&errorCode);
 *     if(U_FAILURE(errorCode)) {
 *         // report error
 *         return;
 *     }
 * 
 *     iter=unorm_setIter(uni, srcIter, UNORM_FCD, &errorCode);
 *     if(U_FAILURE(errorCode)) {
 *         // report error
 *     } else {
 *         // use iter to iterate over the canonically ordered
 *         // version of srcIter's text
 *         uint32_t state;
 * 
 *         ...
 * 
 *         state=uiter_getState(iter);
 *         if(state!=UITER_NO_STATE) {
 *             // use valid state, store it, use iter some more
 *             ...
 * 
 *             // later restore iter to the saved state:
 *             uiter_setState(iter, state, &errorCode);
 * 
 *             ...
 *         }
 * 
 *         ...
 *     }
 *     unorm_closeIter(uni);
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * See also the ICU test suites.

 *
 * The source iterator remains at its current position through the unorm_setIter()
 * call but will be used and moved as soon as the
 * the returned normalizing iterator is.
 *
 * The returned interface pointer is valid for as long as the normalizing iterator
 * is open and until another unorm_setIter() call is made on it.
 *
 * The normalizing iterator's UCharIterator interface has the following properties:
 * - getIndex() and move() will almost always return UITER_UNKNOWN_INDEX
 * - getState() will return UITER_NO_STATE for unknown states for positions
