Remarks
The RuleBasedCollator class is a concrete subclass of Collator that provides a simple, data-driven, table collator. With this class you can create a customized table-based Collator. RuleBasedCollator maps characters to sort keys.
RuleBasedCollator has the following restrictions for efficiency (other subclasses may be used for more complex languages) : <ol> <li>If a special collation rule controlled by a <modifier> is specified it applies to the whole collator object. <li>All non-mentioned characters are at the end of the collation order. </ol>
The collation table is composed of a list of collation rules, where each rule is of one of three forms:
<modifier>
<relation> <text-argument>
<reset> <text-argument>
The definitions of the rule elements is as follows: <UL> <LI><strong>Text-Argument</strong>: A text-argument is any sequence of characters, excluding special characters (that is, common whitespace characters [0009-000D, 0020] and rule syntax characters [0021-002F, 003A-0040, 005B-0060, 007B-007E]). If those characters are desired, you can put them in single quotes (e.g. ampersand => '&'). Note that unquoted white space characters are ignored; e.g. b c is treated as bc. <LI><strong>Modifier</strong>: There are currently two modifiers that turn on special collation rules. <UL> <LI>'
