/**
 *
 * Collation keys are generated by the Collator class.  Use the CollationKey objects
 * instead of Collator to compare strings multiple times.  A CollationKey
 * preprocesses the comparison information from the Collator object to
 * make the comparison faster.  If you are not going to comparing strings
 * multiple times, then using the Collator object is generally faster,
 * since it only processes as much of the string as needed to make a
 * comparison.
 * <p> For example (with strength == tertiary)
 * <p>When comparing "Abernathy" to "Baggins-Smythworthy", Collator
 * only needs to process a couple of characters, while a comparison
 * with CollationKeys will process all of the characters.  On the other hand,
 * if you are doing a sort of a number of fields, it is much faster to use
 * CollationKeys, since you will be comparing strings multiple times.
 * <p>Typical use of CollationKeys are in databases, where you store a CollationKey
 * in a hidden field, and use it for sorting or indexing.
 *
 * <p>Example of use:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
 *     CollationKey* keys = new CollationKey [3];
 *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Tom", keys[0], success );
 *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Dick", keys[1], success );
 *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Harry", keys[2], success );
 *
 *     // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way:
 *     CollationKey tmp;
 *     if(keys[0].compareTo( keys[1] ) > 0 ) {
 *         tmp = keys[0]; keys[0] = keys[1]; keys[1] = tmp;
 *     }
 *     //...
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * <p>Because Collator::compare()'s algorithm is complex, it is faster to sort
 * long lists of words by retrieving collation keys with Collator::getCollationKey().
 * You can then cache the collation keys and compare them using CollationKey::compareTo().
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale,
 * CollationStrength and DecompositionMode settings will return different
 * CollationKeys for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
 * collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
 * are taken into account, for example, will result in different CollationKeys
 * for same strings.
 * <p>
