/**
*
* <code>Transliterator</code> is an abstract class that
* transliterates text from one format to another. The most common
* kind of transliterator is a script, or alphabet, transliterator.
* For example, a Russian to Latin transliterator changes Russian text
* written in Cyrillic characters to phonetically equivalent Latin
* characters. It does not <em>translate</em> Russian to English!
* Transliteration, unlike translation, operates on characters, without
* reference to the meanings of words and sentences.
*
* <p>Although script conversion is its most common use, a
* transliterator can actually perform a more general class of tasks.
* In fact, <code>Transliterator</code> defines a very general API
* which specifies only that a segment of the input text is replaced
* by new text. The particulars of this conversion are determined
* entirely by subclasses of <code>Transliterator</code>.
*
* <p><b>Transliterators are stateless</b>
*
* <p><code>Transliterator</code> objects are <em>stateless</em>; they
* retain no information between calls to
* <code>transliterate()</code>. (However, this does <em>not</em>
* mean that threads may share transliterators without synchronizing
* them. Transliterators are not immutable, so they must be
* synchronized when shared between threads.) This might seem to
* limit the complexity of the transliteration operation. In
* practice, subclasses perform complex transliterations by delaying
* the replacement of text until it is known that no other
* replacements are possible. In other words, although the
* <code>Transliterator</code> objects are stateless, the source text
* itself embodies all the needed information, and delayed operation
* allows arbitrary complexity.
*
* <p><b>Batch transliteration</b>
*
* <p>The simplest way to perform transliteration is all at once, on a
* string of existing text. This is referred to as <em>batch</em>
* transliteration. For example, given a string <code>input</code>
* and a transliterator <code>t</code>, the call
*
* String result = t.transliterate(input);
*
* will transliterate it and return the result. Other methods allow
* the client to specify a substring to be transliterated and to use
* {@link Replaceable } objects instead of strings, in order to
* preserve out-of-band information (such as text styles).
*
* <p><b>Keyboard transliteration</b>
*
* <p>Somewhat more involved is <em>keyboard</em>, or incremental
* transliteration. This is the transliteration of text that is
* arriving from some source (typically the user's keyboard) one
* character at a time, or in some other piecemeal fashion.
*
* <p>In keyboard transliteration, a <code>Replaceable</code> buffer
* stores the text. As text is inserted, as much as possible is
* transliterated on the fly. This means a GUI that displays the
* contents of the buffer may show text being modified as each new
* character arrives.
*
* <p>Consider the simple rule-based Transliterator:
* <pre>
* th>{theta}
* t>{tau}
* </pre>
*
* When the user types 't', nothing will happen, since the
* transliterator is waiting to see if the next character is 'h'. To
* remedy this, we introduce the notion of a cursor, marked by a '|'
* in the output string:
* <pre>
* t>|{tau}
* {tau}h>{theta}
* </pre>
*
* Now when the user types 't', tau appears, and if the next character
* is 'h', the tau changes to a theta. This is accomplished by
* maintaining a cursor position (independent of the insertion point,
* and invisible in the GUI) across calls to
* <code>transliterate()</code>. Typically, the cursor will
* be coincident with the insertion point, but in a case like the one
* above, it will precede the insertion point.
*
* <p>Keyboard transliteration methods maintain a set of three indices
* that are updated with each call to
* <code>transliterate()</code>, including the cursor, start,
* and limit. Since these indices are changed by the method, they are
* passed in an <code>int[]</code> array. The <code>START</code> index
* marks the beginning of the substring that the transliterator will
* look at. It is advanced as text becomes committed (but it is not
* the committed index; that's the <code>CURSOR</code>). The
* <code>CURSOR</code> index, described above, marks the point at
* which the transliterator last stopped, either because it reached
* the end, or because it required more characters to disambiguate
* between possible inputs. The <code>CURSOR</code> can also be
* explicitly set by rules in a rule-based Transliterator.
* Any characters before the <code>CURSOR</code> index are frozen;
* future keyboard transliteration calls within this input sequence
* will not change them. New text is inserted at the
* <code>LIMIT</code> index, which marks the end of the substring that
* the transliterator looks at.
*
* <p>Because keyboard transliteration assumes that more characters
* are to arrive, it is conservative in its operation. It only
* transliterates when it can do so unambiguously. Otherwise it waits
* for more characters to arrive. When the client code knows that no
* more characters are forthcoming, perhaps because the user has
* performed some input termination operation, then it should call
* <code>finishTransliteration()</code> to complete any
* pending transliterations.
*
* <p><b>Inverses</b>
*
* <p>Pairs of transliterators may be inverses of one another. For
* example, if transliterator <b>A</b> transliterates characters by
* incrementing their Unicode value (so "abc" -> "def"), and
* transliterator <b>B</b> decrements character values, then <b>A</b>
* is an inverse of <b>B</b> and vice versa. If we compose <b>A</b>
* with <b>B</b> in a compound transliterator, the result is the
* indentity transliterator, that is, a transliterator that does not
* change its input text.
*
* The <code>Transliterator</code> method <code>getInverse()</code>
* returns a transliterator's inverse, if one exists, or
* <code>null</code> otherwise. However, the result of
* <code>getInverse()</code> usually will <em>not</em> be a true
* mathematical inverse. This is because true inverse transliterators
* are difficult to formulate. For example, consider two
* transliterators: <b>AB</b>, which transliterates the character 'A'
* to 'B', and <b>BA</b>, which transliterates 'B' to 'A'. It might
* seem that these are exact inverses, since
*
* \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly"A" x <b>AB</b> -> "B"<br>
* "B" x <b>BA</b> -> "A"\htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
*
* where 'x' represents transliteration. However,
*
* \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly"ABCD" x <b>AB</b> -> "BBCD"<br>
* "BBCD" x <b>BA</b> -> "AACD"\htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
*
* so <b>AB</b> composed with <b>BA</b> is not the
* identity. Nonetheless, <b>BA</b> may be usefully considered to be
* <b>AB</b>'s inverse, and it is on this basis that
* <b>AB</b><code>.getInverse()</code> could legitimately return
* <b>BA</b>.
*
* <p><b>IDs and display names</b>
*
* <p>A transliterator is designated by a short identifier string or
* <em>ID</em>. IDs follow the format <em>source-destination</em>,
* where <em>source</em> describes the entity being replaced, and
* <em>destination</em> describes the entity replacing
* <em>source</em>. The entities may be the names of scripts,
* particular sequences of characters, or whatever else it is that the
* transliterator converts to or from. For example, a transliterator
* from Russian to Latin might be named "Russian-Latin". A
* transliterator from keyboard escape sequences to Latin-1 characters
* might be named "KeyboardEscape-Latin1". By convention, system
* entity names are in English, with the initial letters of words
* capitalized; user entity names may follow any format so long as
* they do not contain dashes.
*
* <p>In addition to programmatic IDs, transliterator objects have
* display names for presentation in user interfaces, returned by
* {@link #getDisplayName }.
*
* <p><b>Factory methods and registration</b>
*
* <p>In general, client code should use the factory method
* {@link #createInstance } to obtain an instance of a
* transliterator given its ID. Valid IDs may be enumerated using
* <code>getAvailableIDs()</code>. Since transliterators are mutable,
* multiple calls to {@link #createInstance } with the same ID will
* return distinct objects.
*
* <p>In addition to the system transliterators registered at startup,
* user transliterators may be registered by calling
* <code>registerInstance()</code> at run time. A registered instance
* acts a template; future calls to {@link #createInstance } with the ID
* of the registered object return clones of that object. Thus any
* object passed to <tt>registerInstance()</tt> must implement
* <tt>clone()</tt> propertly. To register a transliterator subclass
* without instantiating it (until it is needed), users may call
* {@link #registerFactory }. In this case, the objects are
* instantiated by invoking the zero-argument public constructor of
* the class.
*
* <p><b>Subclassing</b>
*
* Subclasses must implement the abstract method
* <code>handleTransliterate()</code>. <p>Subclasses should override
* the <code>transliterate()</code> method taking a
* <code>Replaceable</code> and the <code>transliterate()</code>
* method taking a <code>String</code> and <code>StringBuffer</code>
* if the performance of these methods can be improved over the
* performance obtained by the default implementations in this class.
*
* <p><b>Rule syntax</b>
*
* <p>A set of rules determines how to perform translations.
* Rules within a rule set are separated by semicolons (';').
* To include a literal semicolon, prefix it with a backslash ('\').
* Unicode Pattern_White_Space is ignored.
* If the first non-blank character on a line is '#',
* the entire line is ignored as a comment.
*
* <p>Each set of rules consists of two groups, one forward, and one
* reverse. This is a convention that is not enforced; rules for one
* direction may be omitted, with the result that translations in
* that direction will not modify the source text. In addition,
* bidirectional forward-reverse rules may be specified for
* symmetrical transformations.
*
* <p>Note: Another description of the Transliterator rule syntax is available in
* <a href="https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Transform_Rules_Syntax">section
* Transform Rules Syntax of UTS #35: Unicode LDML</a>.
* The rules are shown there using arrow symbols ← and → and ↔.
* ICU supports both those and the equivalent ASCII symbols < and > and <>.
*
* <p>Rule statements take one of the following forms:
*
* <dl>
* <dt><code>$alefmadda=\\u0622;</code></dt>
* <dd><strong>Variable definition.</strong> The name on the
* left is assigned the text on the right. In this example,
* after this statement, instances of the left hand name,
* "<code>$alefmadda</code>", will be replaced by
* the Unicode character U+0622. Variable names must begin
* with a letter and consist only of letters, digits, and
* underscores. Case is significant. Duplicate names cause
* an exception to be thrown, that is, variables cannot be
* redefined. The right hand side may contain well-formed
* text of any length, including no text at all ("<code>$empty=;</code>").
* The right hand side may contain embedded <code>UnicodeSet</code>
* patterns, for example, "<code>$softvowel=[eiyEIY]</code>".</dd>
* <dt><code>ai>$alefmadda;</code></dt>
* <dd><strong>Forward translation rule.</strong> This rule
* states that the string on the left will be changed to the
* string on the right when performing forward
* transliteration.</dd>
* <dt><code>ai<$alefmadda;</code></dt>
* <dd><strong>Reverse translation rule.</strong> This rule
* states that the string on the right will be changed to
* the string on the left when performing reverse
* transliteration.</dd>
* </dl>
*
* <dl>
* <dt><code>ai<>$alefmadda;</code></dt>
* <dd><strong>Bidirectional translation rule.</strong> This
* rule states that the string on the right will be changed
* to the string on the left when performing forward
* transliteration, and vice versa when performing reverse
* transliteration.</dd>
* </dl>
*
* <p>Translation rules consist of a <em>match pattern</em> and an <em>output
* string</em>. The match pattern consists of literal characters,
* optionally preceded by context, and optionally followed by
* context. Context characters, like literal pattern characters,
* must be matched in the text being transliterated. However, unlike
* literal pattern characters, they are not replaced by the output
* text. For example, the pattern "<code>abc{def}</code>"
* indicates the characters "<code>def</code>" must be
* preceded by "<code>abc</code>" for a successful match.
* If there is a successful match, "<code>def</code>" will
* be replaced, but not "<code>abc</code>". The final '<code>}</code>'
* is optional, so "<code>abc{def</code>" is equivalent to
* "<code>abc{def}</code>". Another example is "<code>{123}456</code>"
* (or "<code>123}456</code>") in which the literal
* pattern "<code>123</code>" must be followed by "<code>456</code>".
*
* <p>The output string of a forward or reverse rule consists of
* characters to replace the literal pattern characters. If the
* output string contains the character '<code>|</code>', this is
* taken to indicate the location of the <em>cursor</em> after
* replacement. The cursor is the point in the text at which the
* next replacement, if any, will be applied. The cursor is usually
* placed within the replacement text; however, it can actually be
* placed into the precending or following context by using the
* special character '@'. Examples:
*
* <pre>
* a {foo} z > | @ bar; # foo -> bar, move cursor before a
* {foo} xyz > bar @@|; # foo -> bar, cursor between y and z
* </pre>
*
* <p><b>UnicodeSet</b>
*
* <p><code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may appear anywhere that
* makes sense. They may appear in variable definitions.
* Contrariwise, <code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may themselves
* contain variable references, such as "<code>$a=[a-z];$not_a=[^$a]</code>",
* or "<code>$range=a-z;$ll=[$range]</code>".
*
* <p><code>UnicodeSet</code> patterns may also be embedded directly
* into rule strings. Thus, the following two rules are equivalent:
*
* <pre>
* $vowel=[aeiou]; $vowel>'*'; # One way to do this
* [aeiou]>'*'; # Another way
* </pre>
*
* <p>See {@link UnicodeSet} for more documentation and examples.
*
* <p><b>Segments</b>
*
* <p>Segments of the input string can be matched and copied to the
* output string. This makes certain sets of rules simpler and more
* general, and makes reordering possible. For example:
*
* <pre>
* ([a-z]) > $1 $1; # double lowercase letters
* ([:Lu:]) ([:Ll:]) > $2 $1; # reverse order of Lu-Ll pairs
* </pre>
*
* <p>The segment of the input string to be copied is delimited by
* "<code>(</code>" and "<code>)</code>". Up to
* nine segments may be defined. Segments may not overlap. In the
* output string, "<code>$1</code>" through "<code>$9</code>"
* represent the input string segments, in left-to-right order of
* definition.
*
* <p><b>Anchors</b>
*
* <p>Patterns can be anchored to the beginning or the end of the text. This is done with the
* special characters '<code>^</code>' and '<code>$</code>'. For example:
*
* <pre>
* ^ a > 'BEG_A'; # match 'a' at start of text
* a > 'A'; # match other instances of 'a'
* z $ > 'END_Z'; # match 'z' at end of text
* z > 'Z'; # match other instances of 'z'
* </pre>
*
* <p>It is also possible to match the beginning or the end of the text using a <code>UnicodeSet</code>.
* This is done by including a virtual anchor character '<code>$</code>' at the end of the
* set pattern. Although this is usually the match chafacter for the end anchor, the set will
* match either the beginning or the end of the text, depending on its placement. For
* example:
*
* <pre>
* $x = [a-z$]; # match 'a' through 'z' OR anchor
* $x 1 > 2; # match '1' after a-z or at the start
* 3 $x > 4; # match '3' before a-z or at the end
* </pre>
*
* <p><b>Example</b>
*
* <p>The following example rules illustrate many of the features of
* the rule language.
*
* <table border="0" cellpadding="4">
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 1.</td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>abc{def}>x|y</code></td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 2.</td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>xyz>r</code></td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 3.</td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>yz>q</code></td>
* </tr>
* </table>
*
* <p>Applying these rules to the string "<code>adefabcdefz</code>"
* yields the following results:
*
* <table border="0" cellpadding="4">
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>|adefabcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Initial state, no rules match. Advance
* cursor.</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>a|defabcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Still no match. Rule 1 does not match
* because the preceding context is not present.</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>ad|efabcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Still no match. Keep advancing until
* there is a match...</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>ade|fabcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">...</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adef|abcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">...</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adefa|bcdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">...</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adefab|cdefz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">...</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adefabc|defz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Rule 1 matches; replace "<code>def</code>"
* with "<code>xy</code>" and back up the cursor
* to before the '<code>y</code>'.</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adefabcx|yz</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">Although "<code>xyz</code>" is
* present, rule 2 does not match because the cursor is
* before the '<code>y</code>', not before the '<code>x</code>'.
* Rule 3 does match. Replace "<code>yz</code>"
* with "<code>q</code>".</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td style="vertical-align: top; write-space: nowrap;"><code>adefabcxq|</code></td>
* <td style="vertical-align: top;">The cursor is at the end;
* transliteration is complete.</td>
* </tr>
* </table>
*
* <p>The order of rules is significant. If multiple rules may match
* at some point, the first matching rule is applied.
*
* <p>Forward and reverse rules may have an empty output string.
* Otherwise, an empty left or right hand side of any statement is a
* syntax error.
*
* <p>Single quotes are used to quote any character other than a
* digit or letter. To specify a single quote itself, inside or
* outside of quotes, use two single quotes in a row. For example,
* the rule "<code>'>'>o''clock</code>" changes the
* string "<code>></code>" to the string "<code>o'clock</code>".
*
* <p><b>Notes</b>
*
* <p>While a Transliterator is being built from rules, it checks that
* the rules are added in proper order. For example, if the rule
* "a>x" is followed by the rule "ab>y",
* then the second rule will throw an exception. The reason is that
* the second rule can never be triggered, since the first rule
* always matches anything it matches. In other words, the first
* rule <em>masks</em> the second rule.
