* Created by: Helena Shih
*
* Modification History:
*
*  Date        Name        Description
*  2/5/97      aliu        Added streamIn and streamOut methods.  Added
*                          constructor which reads RuleBasedCollator object from
*                          a binary file.  Added writeToFile method which streams
*                          RuleBasedCollator out to a binary file.  The streamIn
*                          and streamOut methods use istream and ostream objects
*                          in binary mode.
*  2/12/97     aliu        Modified to use TableCollationData sub-object to
*                          hold invariant data.
*  2/13/97     aliu        Moved several methods into this class from Collation.
*                          Added a private RuleBasedCollator(Locale&) constructor,
*                          to be used by Collator::createDefault().  General
*                          clean up.
*  2/20/97     helena      Added clone, operator==, operator!=, operator=, and copy
*                          constructor and getDynamicClassID.
*  3/5/97      aliu        Modified constructFromFile() to add parameter
*                          specifying whether or not binary loading is to be
*                          attempted.  This is required for dynamic rule loading.
* 05/07/97     helena      Added memory allocation error detection.
*  6/17/97     helena      Added IDENTICAL strength for compare, changed getRules to
*                          use MergeCollation::getPattern.
*  6/20/97     helena      Java class name change.
*  8/18/97     helena      Added internal API documentation.
* 09/03/97     helena      Added createCollationKeyValues().
* 02/10/98     damiba      Added compare with "length" parameter
* 08/05/98     erm         Synched with 1.2 version of RuleBasedCollator.java
* 04/23/99     stephen     Removed EDecompositionMode, merged with
*                          Normalizer::EMode
* 06/14/99     stephen     Removed kResourceBundleSuffix
* 11/02/99     helena      Collator performance enhancements.  Eliminates the
*                          UnicodeString construction and special case for NO_OP.
* 11/23/99     srl         More performance enhancements. Updates to NormalizerIterator
*                          internal state management.
* 12/15/99     aliu        Update to support Thai collation.  Move NormalizerIterator
*                          to implementation file.
* 01/29/01     synwee      Modified into a C++ wrapper which calls C API
*                          (ucol.h)
* 2012-2014    markus      Rewritten in C++ again.
