 * \brief C API: Unicode Normalization 
 *
 * <h2>Unicode normalization API</h2>
 *
 * Note: This API has been replaced by the unorm2.h API and is only available
 * for backward compatibility. The functions here simply delegate to the
 * unorm2.h functions, for example unorm2_getInstance() and unorm2_normalize().
 * There is one exception: The new API does not provide a replacement for unorm_compare().
 *
 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
 * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> supports the standard normalization forms described in
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
 * Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
 *
 * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
 * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character A-acute.
 * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
 * "composed" form):
 *
 * \code
 *      00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
 * \endcode
 *
 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
 *
 * \code
 *      0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
 *      0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
 * \endcode
 *
 * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
 * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent".  When you are searching or
 * comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated 
 * equivalently.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than one
 * accent.  Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
 * really equivalent.
 *
 * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
 *
 * \code
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I
 * \endcode
 *
 * or as the single character
 *
 * \code
 *      FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI
 * \endcode
 *
 * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
 * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
 * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
 * will often want to use these mappings.
 *
 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> helps solve these problems by transforming text into the
 * canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above.  
 * In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that 
 * you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
 * Finally, <code>unorm_normalize</code> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
 * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
 * own.
 *
 * Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation.
 * It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized
 * with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", i.e., it treats precomposed
 * characters and their decomposed equivalents the same.
 *
 * It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of representation. Multiple strings
 * may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical
 * themselves.
 *
 * The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive canonical decomposition of each character,
 * results in a string that is canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for as long
 * as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering.
 *
 * Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts - and many unnormalized texts -
 * already conform to FCD and do not need to be normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quick check will
 * return UNORM_YES for most strings in practice.
 *
 * unorm_normalize(UNORM_FCD) may be implemented with UNORM_NFD.
 *
 * For more details on FCD see the collation design document:
 * http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm
 *
 * ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if normalization
 * is turned on for the collator object.
 * Beyond collation and string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence comparisons,
 * transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc.
 *
 * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
 * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not
 * encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the
 * Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
 * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.

/**
 * Iterative normalization forward.
 * This function (together with unorm_previous) is somewhat
 * similar to the C++ Normalizer class (see its non-static functions).
 *
 * Iterative normalization is useful when only a small portion of a longer
 * string/text needs to be processed.
 *
 * For example, the likelihood may be high that processing the first 10% of some
 * text will be sufficient to find certain data.
 * Another example: When one wants to concatenate two normalized strings and get a
 * normalized result, it is much more efficient to normalize just a small part of
 * the result around the concatenation place instead of re-normalizing everything.
 *
 * The input text is an instance of the C character iteration API UCharIterator.
 * It may wrap around a simple string, a CharacterIterator, a Replaceable, or any
 * other kind of text object.
 *
 * If a buffer overflow occurs, then the caller needs to reset the iterator to the
 * old index and call the function again with a larger buffer - if the caller cares
 * for the actual output.
 * Regardless of the output buffer, the iterator will always be moved to the next
 * normalization boundary.
 *
 * This function (like unorm_previous) serves two purposes:
 *
 * 1) To find the next boundary so that the normalization of the part of the text
 * from the current position to that boundary does not affect and is not affected
 * by the part of the text beyond that boundary.
 *
 * 2) To normalize the text up to the boundary.
 *
 * The second step is optional, per the doNormalize parameter.
 * It is omitted for operations like string concatenation, where the two adjacent
 * string ends need to be normalized together.
 * In such a case, the output buffer will just contain a copy of the text up to the
 * boundary.
 *
 * pNeededToNormalize is an output-only parameter. Its output value is only defined
 * if normalization was requested (doNormalize) and successful (especially, no
 * buffer overflow).
 * It is useful for operations like a normalizing transliterator, where one would
 * not want to replace a piece of text if it is not modified.
 *
 * If doNormalize==TRUE and pNeededToNormalize!=NULL then *pNeeded... is set TRUE
 * if the normalization was necessary.
 *
 * If doNormalize==FALSE then *pNeededToNormalize will be set to FALSE.
 *
 * If the buffer overflows, then *pNeededToNormalize will be undefined;
 * essentially, whenever U_FAILURE is true (like in buffer overflows), this result
 * will be undefined.
 *
 * @param src The input text in the form of a C character iterator.
 * @param dest The output buffer; can be NULL if destCapacity==0 for pure preflighting.
 * @param destCapacity The number of UChars that fit into dest.
 * @param mode The normalization mode.
 * @param options The normalization options, ORed together (0 for no options).
 * @param doNormalize Indicates if the source text up to the next boundary
 *                    is to be normalized (TRUE) or just copied (FALSE).
 * @param pNeededToNormalize Output flag indicating if the normalization resulted in
 *                           different text from the input.
 *                           Not defined if an error occurs including buffer overflow.
