  22  * <code>UScriptRun</code> is used to find runs of characters in
  23  * the same script. It implements a simple iterator over an array
  24  * of characters. The iterator will resolve script-neutral characters
  25  * like punctuation into the script of the surrounding characters.
  26  *
  27  * The iterator will try to match paired punctuation. If it sees an
  28  * opening punctuation character, it will remember the script that
  29  * was assigned to that character, and assign the same script to the
  30  * matching closing punctuation.
  31  *
  32  * Scripts are chosen based on the <code>UScriptCode</code> enumeration.
  33  * No attempt is made to combine related scripts into a single run. In
  34  * particular, Hiragana, Katakana, and Han characters will appear in seperate
  35  * runs.
  36
  37  * Here is an example of how to iterate over script runs:
  38  * <pre>
  39  * \code
  40  * void printScriptRuns(const UChar *text, int32_t length)
  41  * {
  42  *     UErrorCode error = U_ZERO_ERROR;
  43  *     UScriptRun *scriptRun = uscript_openRun(text, testLength, &error);
  44  *     int32_t start = 0, limit = 0;
  45  *     UScriptCode code = USCRIPT_INVALID_CODE;
  46  *
  47  *     while (uscript_nextRun(&start, &limit, &code)) {
  48  *         printf("Script '%s' from %d to %d.\n", uscript_getName(code), start, limit);
  49  *     }
  50  *
  51  *     uscript_closeRun(scriptRun);
  52  *  }
  53  * </pre>
