/**
* The CollationElementIterator class is used as an iterator to walk through     
* each character of an international string. Use the iterator to return the
* ordering priority of the positioned character. The ordering priority of a 
* character, which we refer to as a key, defines how a character is collated in 
* the given collation object.
* For example, consider the following in Spanish:
* <pre>
*        "ca" -> the first key is key('c') and second key is key('a').
*        "cha" -> the first key is key('ch') and second key is key('a').</pre>
* And in German,
* <pre> \htmlonly       "&#x00E6;b"-> the first key is key('a'), the second key is key('e'), and
*        the third key is key('b'). \endhtmlonly </pre>
* The key of a character, is an integer composed of primary order(short),
* secondary order(char), and tertiary order(char). Java strictly defines the 
* size and signedness of its primitive data types. Therefore, the static
* functions primaryOrder(), secondaryOrder(), and tertiaryOrder() return 
* int32_t to ensure the correctness of the key value.
* <p>Example of the iterator usage: (without error checking)
* <pre>
* \code
*   void CollationElementIterator_Example()
*   {
*       UnicodeString str = "This is a test";
*       UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
*       RuleBasedCollator* rbc =
*           (RuleBasedCollator*) RuleBasedCollator::createInstance(success);
*       CollationElementIterator* c =
*           rbc->createCollationElementIterator( str );
*       int32_t order = c->next(success);
*       c->reset();
*       order = c->previous(success);
*       delete c;
*       delete rbc;
*   }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* <p>
* CollationElementIterator::next returns the collation order of the next
* character based on the comparison level of the collator. 
* CollationElementIterator::previous returns the collation order of the 
* previous character based on the comparison level of the collator. 
* The Collation Element Iterator moves only in one direction between calls to
* CollationElementIterator::reset. That is, CollationElementIterator::next() 
* and CollationElementIterator::previous can not be inter-used. Whenever 
* CollationElementIterator::previous is to be called after 
* CollationElementIterator::next() or vice versa, 
* CollationElementIterator::reset has to be called first to reset the status, 
* shifting pointers to either the end or the start of the string. Hence at the 
* next call of CollationElementIterator::previous or 
* CollationElementIterator::next(), the first or last collation order will be 
* returned. 
* If a change of direction is done without a CollationElementIterator::reset(), 
* the result is undefined.
* The result of a forward iterate (CollationElementIterator::next) and 
* reversed result of the backward iterate (CollationElementIterator::previous) 
* on the same string are equivalent, if collation orders with the value 
* UCOL_IGNORABLE are ignored.
* Character based on the comparison level of the collator.  A collation order 
* consists of primary order, secondary order and tertiary order.  The data 
* type of the collation order is <strong>t_int32</strong>. 
*
* Note, CollationElementIterator should not be subclassed.
* @see     Collator
* @see     RuleBasedCollator
