     * o   Find all character strings with CEs between the baseCE and the 
     * next/previous CE, at the strength of the first token. Add these to the 
     * tailoring. 
     *     ? That is, if UCA has ...  x <<< X << x' <<< X' < y ..., and the 
     *       tailoring has & x < z...

     * It is possible that this part should be done even while constructing list
     * The problem is that it is unknown what is going to be the strongest 
     * weight.
     * So we might as well do it here
     * o   Allocate CEs for each token in the list, based on the total number N 
     * of the largest level difference, and the gap G between baseCE and nextCE 
     * at that level. The relation * between the last item and nextCE is the 
     * same as the strongest strength. 
     * o   Example: baseCE < a << b <<< q << c < d < e * nextCE(X,1) 
     *     ? There are 3 primary items: a, d, e. Fit them into the primary gap. 
     *     Then fit b and c into the secondary gap between a and d, then fit q 
     *     into the tertiary gap between b and c. 
     * o   Example: baseCE << b <<< q << c * nextCE(X,2) 
     *     ? There are 2 secondary items: b, c. Fit them into the secondary gap. 
     *       Then fit q into the tertiary gap between b and c. 
     * o   When incrementing primary values, we will not cross high byte 
     *     boundaries except where there is only a single-byte primary. That is 
     *     to ensure that the script reordering will continue to work.
