/**
 * Old Unicode normalization API.
 *
 * <p>This API has been replaced by the {@link Normalizer2} class and is only available
 * for backward compatibility. This class simply delegates to the Normalizer2 class.
 * There are two exceptions: The new API does not provide a replacement for
 * <code>QuickCheckResult</code> and <code>compare()</code>.
 *
 * <p><code>normalize</code> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
 * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
 * <code>normalize</code> supports the standard normalization forms described in
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
 * Unicode Standard Annex #15 &mdash; Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
 *
 * <p>Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
 * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character A-acute.
 * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
 * "composed" form):
 *
 * <pre>
 *      00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
 * </pre>
 *
 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
 *
 * <pre>
 *      0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
 *      0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
 * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent".  When you 
 * are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are 
 * treated equivalently.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than
 * one accent.  Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
 * really equivalent.
 *
 * <p>Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I
 * </pre>
 *
 * or as the single character
 *
 * <pre>
 *      FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
 * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
 * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
 * will often want to use these mappings.
 *
 * <p><code>normalize</code> helps solve these problems by transforming text into 
 * the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example 
 * above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so 
 * that you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
 * Finally, <code>normalize</code> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
 * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
 * own.
 *
 * <p>Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation.
 * It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized
 * with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", 
 * i.e., it treats precomposed characters and their decomposed equivalents the 
 * same.
 *
 * <p>It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of 
 * representation. Multiple strings may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs 
 * are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical themselves.
 *
 * <p>The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive 
 * canonical decomposition of each character, results in a string that is 
 * canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for 
 * as long as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering.
 *
 * <p>Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts
 * - and many unnormalized texts - already conform to FCD and do not need to be 
 * normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quick check will return YES for 
 * most strings in practice.
 *
 * <p>normalize(FCD) may be implemented with NFD.
 *
 * <p>For more details on FCD see Unicode Technical Note #5 (Canonical Equivalence in Applications):
 * http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn5/#FCD
 *
 * <p>ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if 
 * normalization is turned on for the collator object. Beyond collation and 
 * string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence 
 * comparisons, transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc.
 *
 * <p>The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
 * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and
 * often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such
 * character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
 * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
 *
 * <p>Note: The Normalizer class also provides API for iterative normalization.
 * While the setIndex() and getIndex() refer to indices in the
 * underlying Unicode input text, the next() and previous() methods
 * iterate through characters in the normalized output.
 * This means that there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence
 * between characters returned by next() and previous() and the indices
 * passed to and returned from setIndex() and getIndex().
 * It is for this reason that Normalizer does not implement the CharacterIterator interface.

     *
     * In this function, canonical equivalence is optional as well.
     * If canonical equivalence is tested, then both strings must fulfill
     * the FCD check.
     *
     * Semantically, this is equivalent to
     *   strcmp[CodePointOrder](NFD(foldCase(s1)), NFD(foldCase(s2)))
     * where code point order, NFD and foldCase are all optional.
     *
     * String comparisons almost always yield results before processing both strings
     * completely.
     * They are generally more efficient working incrementally instead of
     * performing the sub-processing (strlen, normalization, case-folding)
     * on the entire strings first.
     *
     * It is also unnecessary to not normalize identical characters.
     *
     * This function works in principle as follows:
     *
     * loop {
     *   get one code unit c1 from s1 (-1 if end of source)
     *   get one code unit c2 from s2 (-1 if end of source)
     *
     *   if(either string finished) {
     *     return result;
     *   }
     *   if(c1==c2) {
     *     continue;
     *   }
     *
     *   // c1!=c2
     *   try to decompose/case-fold c1/c2, and continue if one does;
     *
     *   // still c1!=c2 and neither decomposes/case-folds, return result
     *   return c1-c2;
     * }
     *
     * When a character decomposes, then the pointer for that source changes to
     * the decomposition, pushing the previous pointer onto a stack.
     * When the end of the decomposition is reached, then the code unit reader
     * pops the previous source from the stack.
     * (Same for case-folding.)
     *
     * This is complicated further by operating on variable-width UTF-16.
     * The top part of the loop works on code units, while lookups for decomposition
     * and case-folding need code points.
     * Code points are assembled after the equality/end-of-source part.
     * The source pointer is only advanced beyond all code units when the code point
     * actually decomposes/case-folds.
     *
     * If we were on a trail surrogate unit when assembling a code point,
     * and the code point decomposes/case-folds, then the decomposition/folding
     * result must be compared with the part of the other string that corresponds to
     * this string's lead surrogate.
     * Since we only assemble a code point when hitting a trail unit when the
     * preceding lead units were identical, we back up the other string by one unit
     * in such a case.
     *
     * The optional code point order comparison at the end works with
     * the same fix-up as the other code point order comparison functions.
     * See ustring.c and the comment near the end of this function.
     *
     * Assumption: A decomposition or case-folding result string never contains
     * a single surrogate. This is a safe assumption in the Unicode Standard.
     * Therefore, we do not need to check for surrogate pairs across
     * decomposition/case-folding boundaries.
     *
     * Further assumptions (see verifications tstnorm.cpp):
     * The API function checks for FCD first, while the core function
     * first case-folds and then decomposes. This requires that case-folding does not
     * un-FCD any strings.
     *
     * The API function may also NFD the input and turn off decomposition.
     * This requires that case-folding does not un-NFD strings either.
     *
     * TODO If any of the above two assumptions is violated,
     * then this entire code must be re-thought.
     * If this happens, then a simple solution is to case-fold both strings up front
     * and to turn off UNORM_INPUT_IS_FCD.
     * We already do this when not both strings are in FCD because makeFCD
     * would be a partial NFD before the case folding, which does not work.
     * Note that all of this is only a problem when case-folding _and_
     * canonical equivalence come together.
     * (Comments in unorm_compare() are more up to date than this TODO.)
