29/**
30 * A UParseError struct is used to returned detailed information about
31 * parsing errors. It is used by ICU parsing engines that parse long
32 * rules, patterns, or programs, where the text being parsed is long
33 * enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
34 * localize the error.
35 *
36 * <p>The line, offset, and context fields are optional; parsing
37 * engines may choose not to use to use them.
38 *
39 * <p>The preContext and postContext strings include some part of the
40 * context surrounding the error. If the source text is "let for=7"
41 * and "for" is the error (e.g., because it is a reserved word), then
42 * some examples of what a parser might produce are the following:
43 *
44 * <pre>
45 * preContext postContext
46 * "" "" The parser does not support context
47 * "let " "=7" Pre- and post-context only
48 * "let " "for=7" Pre- and post-context and error text
49 * "" "for" Error text only
50 * </pre>
51 *
52 * <p>Examples of engines which use UParseError (or may use it in the
53 * future) are Transliterator, RuleBasedBreakIterator, and
54 * RegexPattern.
