/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Abstract Unicode Text API
*
* The Text Access API provides a means to allow text that is stored in alternative
* formats to work with ICU services. ICU normally operates on text that is
* stored UTF-16 format, in (UChar *) arrays for the C APIs or as type
* UnicodeString for C++ APIs.
*
* ICU Text Access allows other formats, such as UTF-8 or non-contiguous
* UTF-16 strings, to be placed in a UText wrapper and then passed to ICU services.
*
* There are three general classes of usage for UText:
*
* Application Level Use. This is the simplest usage - applications would
* use one of the utext_open() functions on their input text, and pass
* the resulting UText to the desired ICU service.
*
* Second is usage in ICU Services, such as break iteration, that will need to
* operate on input presented to them as a UText. These implementations
* will need to use the iteration and related UText functions to gain
* access to the actual text.
*
* The third class of UText users are "text providers." These are the
* UText implementations for the various text storage formats. An application
* or system with a unique text storage format can implement a set of
* UText provider functions for that format, which will then allow
* ICU services to operate on that format.
*
*
* <em>Iterating over text</em>
*
* Here is sample code for a forward iteration over the contents of a UText
*
* \code
* UChar32 c;
* UText *ut = whatever();
*
* for (c=utext_next32From(ut, 0); c>=0; c=utext_next32(ut)) {
* // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
* }
* \endcode
*
* And here is similar code to iterate in the reverse direction, from the end
* of the text towards the beginning.
*
* \code
* UChar32 c;
* UText *ut = whatever();
* int textLength = utext_nativeLength(ut);
* for (c=utext_previous32From(ut, textLength); c>=0; c=utext_previous32(ut)) {
* // do whatever with the codepoint c here.
* }
* \endcode
*
* <em>Characters and Indexing</em>
*
* Indexing into text by UText functions is nearly always in terms of the native
* indexing of the underlying text storage. The storage format could be UTF-8
* or UTF-32, for example. When coding to the UText access API, no assumptions
* can be made regarding the size of characters, or how far an index
* may move when iterating between characters.
*
* All indices supplied to UText functions are pinned to the length of the
* text. An out-of-bounds index is not considered to be an error, but is
* adjusted to be in the range 0 <= index <= length of input text.
*
*
* When an index position is returned from a UText function, it will be
* a native index to the underlying text. In the case of multi-unit characters,
* it will always refer to the first position of the character,
* never to the interior. This is essentially the same thing as saying that
* a returned index will always point to a boundary between characters.
*
* When a native index is supplied to a UText function, all indices that
* refer to any part of a multi-unit character representation are considered
* to be equivalent. In the case of multi-unit characters, an incoming index
* will be logically normalized to refer to the start of the character.
*
* It is possible to test whether a native index is on a code point boundary
* by doing a utext_setNativeIndex() followed by a utext_getNativeIndex().
* If the index is returned unchanged, it was on a code point boundary. If
* an adjusted index is returned, the original index referred to the
* interior of a character.
