     26  * The BreakIteratorFilter is used to modify the behavior of a BreakIterator
     27  *  by constructing a new BreakIterator which suppresses certain segment boundaries.
     28  *  See  http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Segmentation_Exceptions .
     29  *  For example, a typical English Sentence Break Iterator would break on the space
     30  *  in the string "Mr. Smith" (resulting in two segments),
     31  *  but with "Mr." as an exception, a filtered break iterator
     32  *  would consider the string "Mr. Smith" to be a single segment.
