     46  *
     47  * Collation keys are generated by the Collator class.  Use the CollationKey objects
     48  * instead of Collator to compare strings multiple times.  A CollationKey
     49  * preprocesses the comparison information from the Collator object to
     50  * make the comparison faster.  If you are not going to comparing strings
     51  * multiple times, then using the Collator object is generally faster,
     52  * since it only processes as much of the string as needed to make a
     53  * comparison.
     54  * <p> For example (with strength == tertiary)
     55  * <p>When comparing "Abernathy" to "Baggins-Smythworthy", Collator
     56  * only needs to process a couple of characters, while a comparison
     57  * with CollationKeys will process all of the characters.  On the other hand,
     58  * if you are doing a sort of a number of fields, it is much faster to use
     59  * CollationKeys, since you will be comparing strings multiple times.
     60  * <p>Typical use of CollationKeys are in databases, where you store a CollationKey
     61  * in a hidden field, and use it for sorting or indexing.
     62  *
     63  * <p>Example of use:
     64  * <pre>
     65  * \code
     66  *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
     67  *     Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
     68  *     CollationKey* keys = new CollationKey [3];
     69  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Tom", keys[0], success );
     70  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Dick", keys[1], success );
     71  *     myCollator->getCollationKey("Harry", keys[2], success );
     72  *
     73  *     // Inside body of sort routine, compare keys this way:
     74  *     CollationKey tmp;
     75  *     if(keys[0].compareTo( keys[1] ) > 0 ) {
     76  *         tmp = keys[0]; keys[0] = keys[1]; keys[1] = tmp;
     77  *     }
     78  *     //...
     79  * \endcode
     80  * </pre>
     81  * <p>Because Collator::compare()'s algorithm is complex, it is faster to sort
     82  * long lists of words by retrieving collation keys with Collator::getCollationKey().
     83  * You can then cache the collation keys and compare them using CollationKey::compareTo().
     84  * <p>
     85  * <strong>Note:</strong> <code>Collator</code>s with different Locale,
     86  * CollationStrength and DecompositionMode settings will return different
     87  * CollationKeys for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
     88  * collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
     89  * are taken into account, for example, will result in different CollationKeys
     90  * for same strings.
