/**
* Collation keys are generated by the Collator class. Use the CollationKey objects
* instead of Collator to compare strings multiple times. A CollationKey
* preprocesses the comparison information from the Collator object to
* make the comparison faster. If you are not going to comparing strings
* multiple times, then using the Collator object is generally faster,
* since it only processes as much of the string as needed to make a
* comparison.
* <p> For example (with strength == tertiary)
* <p>When comparing "Abernathy" to "Baggins-Smythworthy", Collator
* only needs to process a couple of characters, while a comparison
* with CollationKeys will process all of the characters. On the other hand,
* if you are doing a sort of a number of fields, it is much faster to use
* CollationKeys, since you will be comparing strings multiple times.
* <p>Typical use of CollationKeys are in databases, where you store a CollationKey
* in a hidden field, and use it for sorting or indexing.
*
* <p>Example of use:
* <pre>
* . UErrorCode success = ZERO_ERROR;
* . Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
* . CollationKey* keys = new CollationKey [3];
* . myCollator->getCollationKey("Tom", keys[0], success );
* . myCollator->getCollationKey("Dick", keys[1], success );
* . myCollator->getCollationKey("Harry", keys[2], success );
* .
* . // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way:
* . CollationKey tmp;
* . if(keys[0].compareTo( keys[1] ) > 0 ) {
* . tmp = keys[0]; keys[0] = keys[1]; keys[1] = tmp;
* . }
* . //...
* </pre>
* <p>Because Collator::compare()'s algorithm is complex, it is faster to sort
* long lists of words by retrieving collation keys with Collator::getCollationKey().
* You can then cache the collation keys and compare them using CollationKey::compareTo().
* <p>
* <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale,
* CollationStrength and DecompositionMode settings will return different
* CollationKeys for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
* collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
* are taken into account, for example, will result in different CollationKeys
* for same strings.
* <p>
