* A UParseError struct is used to returned detailed information about
* parsing errors. It is used by ICU parsing engines that parse long
* rules, patterns, or programs, where the text being parsed is long
* enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
* localize the error.
*
* <p>The line, offset, and context fields are optional; parsing
* engines may choose not to use to use them.
*
* <p>The preContext and postContext strings include some part of the
* context surrounding the error. If the source text is "let for=7"
* and "for" is the error (e.g., because it is a reserved word), then
* some examples of what a parser might produce are the following:
*
* <pre>
* preContext postContext
* "" "" The parser does not support context
* "let " "=7" Pre- and post-context only
* "let " "for=7" Pre- and post-context and error text
* "" "for" Error text only
* </pre>
*
* <p>Examples of engines which use UParseError (or may use it in the
* future) are Transliterator, RuleBasedBreakIterator, and
* RegexPattern.
