/**
 * A {@code CollationKey} represents a {@code String} under the
 * rules of a specific {@code Collator} object. Comparing two
 * {@code CollationKey}s returns the relative order of the
 * {@code String}s they represent. Using {@code CollationKey}s
 * to compare {@code String}s is generally faster than using
 * {@code Collator.compare}. Thus, when the {@code String}s
 * must be compared multiple times, for example when sorting a list
 * of {@code String}s. It's more efficient to use {@code CollationKey}s.
 *
 * <p>
 * You can not create {@code CollationKey}s directly. Rather,
 * generate them by calling {@code Collator.getCollationKey}.
 * You can only compare {@code CollationKey}s generated from
 * the same {@code Collator} object.
 *
 * <p>
 * Generating a {@code CollationKey} for a {@code String}
 * involves examining the entire {@code String}
 * and converting it to series of bits that can be compared bitwise. This
 * allows fast comparisons once the keys are generated. The cost of generating
 * keys is recouped in faster comparisons when {@code String}s need
 * to be compared many times. On the other hand, the result of a comparison
 * is often determined by the first couple of characters of each {@code String}.
 * {@code Collator.compare} examines only as many characters as it needs which
 * allows it to be faster when doing single comparisons.
 * <p>
 * The following example shows how {@code CollationKey}s might be used
 * to sort a list of {@code String}s.
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>{@code
 * // Create an array of CollationKeys for the Strings to be sorted.
 * Collator myCollator = Collator.getInstance();
 * CollationKey[] keys = new CollationKey[3];
 * keys[0] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Tom");
 * keys[1] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Dick");
 * keys[2] = myCollator.getCollationKey("Harry");
 * sort(keys);
 *
 * //...
 *
 * // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way
 * if (keys[i].compareTo(keys[j]) > 0)
 *    // swap keys[i] and keys[j]
 *
 * //...
 *
 * // Finally, when we've returned from sort.
 * System.out.println(keys[0].getSourceString());
 * System.out.println(keys[1].getSourceString());
 * System.out.println(keys[2].getSourceString());
 * }</pre>
