/**
 * A mutable set of Unicode characters and multicharacter strings.
 * Objects of this class represent <em>character classes</em> used
 * in regular expressions. A character specifies a subset of Unicode
 * code points.  Legal code points are U+0000 to U+10FFFF, inclusive.
 *
 * Note: method freeze() will not only make the set immutable, but
 * also makes important methods much higher performance:
 * contains(c), containsNone(...), span(...), spanBack(...) etc.
 * After the object is frozen, any subsequent call that wants to change
 * the object will throw UnsupportedOperationException.
 *
 * <p>The UnicodeSet class is not designed to be subclassed.
 *
 * <p><code>UnicodeSet</code> supports two APIs. The first is the
 * <em>operand</em> API that allows the caller to modify the value of
 * a <code>UnicodeSet</code> object. It conforms to Java 2's
 * <code>java.util.Set</code> interface, although
 * <code>UnicodeSet</code> does not actually implement that
 * interface. All methods of <code>Set</code> are supported, with the
 * modification that they take a character range or single character
 * instead of an <code>Object</code>, and they take a
 * <code>UnicodeSet</code> instead of a <code>Collection</code>.  The
 * operand API may be thought of in terms of boolean logic: a boolean
 * OR is implemented by <code>add</code>, a boolean AND is implemented
 * by <code>retain</code>, a boolean XOR is implemented by
 * <code>complement</code> taking an argument, and a boolean NOT is
 * implemented by <code>complement</code> with no argument.  In terms
 * of traditional set theory function names, <code>add</code> is a
 * union, <code>retain</code> is an intersection, <code>remove</code>
 * is an asymmetric difference, and <code>complement</code> with no
 * argument is a set complement with respect to the superset range
 * <code>MIN_VALUE-MAX_VALUE</code>
 *
 * <p>The second API is the
 * <code>applyPattern()</code>/<code>toPattern()</code> API from the
 * <code>java.text.Format</code>-derived classes.  Unlike the
 * methods that add characters, add categories, and control the logic
 * of the set, the method <code>applyPattern()</code> sets all
 * attributes of a <code>UnicodeSet</code> at once, based on a
 * string pattern.
 *
 * <p><b>Pattern syntax</b></p>
 *
 * Patterns are accepted by the constructors and the
 * <code>applyPattern()</code> methods and returned by the
 * <code>toPattern()</code> method.  These patterns follow a syntax
 * similar to that employed by version 8 regular expression character
 * classes.  Here are some simple examples:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *   <table>
 *     <tr align="top">
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">No characters</td>
 *     </tr><tr align="top">
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[a]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">The character 'a'</td>
 *     </tr><tr align="top">
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[ae]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">The characters 'a' and 'e'</td>
 *     </tr>
 *     <tr>
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[a-e]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">The characters 'a' through 'e' inclusive, in Unicode code
 *       point order</td>
 *     </tr>
 *     <tr>
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[\\u4E01]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">The character U+4E01</td>
 *     </tr>
 *     <tr>
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[a{ab}{ac}]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">The character 'a' and the multicharacter strings &quot;ab&quot; and
 *       &quot;ac&quot;</td>
 *     </tr>
 *     <tr>
 *       <td nowrap valign="top" align="left"><code>[\p{Lu}]</code></td>
 *       <td valign="top">All characters in the general category Uppercase Letter</td>
 *     </tr>
 *   </table>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Any character may be preceded by a backslash in order to remove any special
 * meaning.  White space characters, as defined by the Unicode Pattern_White_Space property, are
 * ignored, unless they are escaped.
 *
 * <p>Property patterns specify a set of characters having a certain
 * property as defined by the Unicode standard.  Both the POSIX-like
 * "[:Lu:]" and the Perl-like syntax "\p{Lu}" are recognized.  For a
 * complete list of supported property patterns, see the User's Guide
 * for UnicodeSet at
 * <a href="http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/unicodeSet.html">
 * http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/unicodeSet.html</a>.
 * Actual determination of property data is defined by the underlying
 * Unicode database as implemented by UCharacter.
 *
 * <p>Patterns specify individual characters, ranges of characters, and
 * Unicode property sets.  When elements are concatenated, they
 * specify their union.  To complement a set, place a '^' immediately
 * after the opening '['.  Property patterns are inverted by modifying
 * their delimiters; "[:^foo]" and "\P{foo}".  In any other location,
 * '^' has no special meaning.
 *
 * <p>Ranges are indicated by placing two a '-' between two
 * characters, as in "a-z".  This specifies the range of all
 * characters from the left to the right, in Unicode order.  If the
 * left character is greater than or equal to the
 * right character it is a syntax error.  If a '-' occurs as the first
 * character after the opening '[' or '[^', or if it occurs as the
 * last character before the closing ']', then it is taken as a
 * literal.  Thus "[a\\-b]", "[-ab]", and "[ab-]" all indicate the same
 * set of three characters, 'a', 'b', and '-'.
 *
 * <p>Sets may be intersected using the '&' operator or the asymmetric
 * set difference may be taken using the '-' operator, for example,
 * "[[:L:]&[\\u0000-\\u0FFF]]" indicates the set of all Unicode letters
 * with values less than 4096.  Operators ('&' and '|') have equal
 * precedence and bind left-to-right.  Thus
 * "[[:L:]-[a-z]-[\\u0100-\\u01FF]]" is equivalent to
 * "[[[:L:]-[a-z]]-[\\u0100-\\u01FF]]".  This only really matters for
 * difference; intersection is commutative.
 *

     * Argument values for whether span() and similar functions continue while the current character is contained vs.
     * not contained in the set.
     * <p>
     * The functionality is straightforward for sets with only single code points, without strings (which is the common
     * case):
     * <ul>
     * <li>CONTAINED and SIMPLE work the same.
     * <li>CONTAINED and SIMPLE are inverses of NOT_CONTAINED.
     * <li>span() and spanBack() partition any string the
     * same way when alternating between span(NOT_CONTAINED) and span(either "contained" condition).
     * <li>Using a
     * complemented (inverted) set and the opposite span conditions yields the same results.
     * </ul>
     * When a set contains multi-code point strings, then these statements may not be true, depending on the strings in
     * the set (for example, whether they overlap with each other) and the string that is processed. For a set with
     * strings:
     * <ul>
     * <li>The complement of the set contains the opposite set of code points, but the same set of strings.
     * Therefore, complementing both the set and the span conditions may yield different results.
     * <li>When starting spans
     * at different positions in a string (span(s, ...) vs. span(s+1, ...)) the ends of the spans may be different
     * because a set string may start before the later position.
     * <li>span(SIMPLE) may be shorter than
     * span(CONTAINED) because it will not recursively try all possible paths. For example, with a set which
     * contains the three strings "xy", "xya" and "ax", span("xyax", CONTAINED) will return 4 but span("xyax",
     * SIMPLE) will return 3. span(SIMPLE) will never be longer than span(CONTAINED).
     * <li>With either "contained" condition, span() and spanBack() may partition a string in different ways. For example,
     * with a set which contains the two strings "ab" and "ba", and when processing the string "aba", span() will yield
     * contained/not-contained boundaries of { 0, 2, 3 } while spanBack() will yield boundaries of { 0, 1, 3 }.
     * </ul>
     * Note: If it is important to get the same boundaries whether iterating forward or backward through a string, then
     * either only span() should be used and the boundaries cached for backward operation, or an ICU BreakIterator could
     * be used.
     * <p>
     * Note: Unpaired surrogates are treated like surrogate code points. Similarly, set strings match only on code point
     * boundaries, never in the middle of a surrogate pair.
