/**
 * This class is the abstract superclass of classes which perform 
 * locale dependent <code>String</code> comparisons.  A caller requests
 * an instance of <code>Collator</code> for a particular locale using
 * the <code>getInstance()</code> static method in this class.  That method
 * will return a locale specific subclass of <code>Collator</code> which
 * can be used to perform <code>String</code> comparisons for that locale.
 * If a subclass of <code>Collator</code> cannot be located for a particular
 * locale, a default instance for the current locale will be returned.  
 *
 * In addition to setting the correct locale, there are two additional
 * settings that can be adjusted to affect <code>String</code> comparisons:
 * strength and decomposition.  The strength value determines the level
 * of signficance of character differences required for them to sort
 * differently.  (For example, whether or not capital letters are considered
 * different from lower case letters).  The decomposition value affects how
 * variants of the same character are treated for sorting purposes.  (For
 * example, whether or not an accent is signficant or not).  These settings
 * are described in detail in the documentation for the methods and values
 * that are related to them.
