  53:  * This class is the abstract superclass of classes which perform 
  54:  * locale dependent <code>String</code> comparisons.  A caller requests
  55:  * an instance of <code>Collator</code> for a particular locale using
  56:  * the <code>getInstance()</code> static method in this class.  That method
  57:  * will return a locale specific subclass of <code>Collator</code> which
  58:  * can be used to perform <code>String</code> comparisons for that locale.
  59:  * If a subclass of <code>Collator</code> cannot be located for a particular
  60:  * locale, a default instance for the current locale will be returned.  
  61:  *
  62:  * In addition to setting the correct locale, there are two additional
  63:  * settings that can be adjusted to affect <code>String</code> comparisons:
  64:  * strength and decomposition.  The strength value determines the level
  65:  * of signficance of character differences required for them to sort
  66:  * differently.  (For example, whether or not capital letters are considered
  67:  * different from lower case letters).  The decomposition value affects how
  68:  * variants of the same character are treated for sorting purposes.  (For
  69:  * example, whether or not an accent is signficant or not).  These settings
  70:  * are described in detail in the documentation for the methods and values
  71:  * that are related to them.
