27 * The BreakIteratorFilter is used to modify the behavior of a BreakIterator
28 * by constructing a new BreakIterator which suppresses certain segment boundaries.
29 * See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Segmentation_Exceptions .
30 * For example, a typical English Sentence Break Iterator would break on the space
31 * in the string "Mr. Smith" (resulting in two segments),
32 * but with "Mr." as an exception, a filtered break iterator
33 * would consider the string "Mr. Smith" to be a single segment.
