     30  * A UParseError struct is used to returned detailed information about
     31  * parsing errors.  It is used by ICU parsing engines that parse long
     32  * rules, patterns, or programs, where the text being parsed is long
     33  * enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
     34  * localize the error.
     35  *
     36  * <p>The line, offset, and context fields are optional; parsing
     37  * engines may choose not to use to use them.
     38  *
     39  * <p>The preContext and postContext strings include some part of the
     40  * context surrounding the error.  If the source text is "let for=7"
     41  * and "for" is the error (e.g., because it is a reserved word), then
     42  * some examples of what a parser might produce are the following:
     43  *
     44  * <pre>
     45  * preContext   postContext
     46  * ""           ""            The parser does not support context
     47  * "let "       "=7"          Pre- and post-context only
     48  * "let "       "for=7"       Pre- and post-context and error text
     49  * ""           "for"         Error text only
     50  * </pre>
     51  *
     52  * <p>Examples of engines which use UParseError (or may use it in the
     53  * future) are Transliterator, RuleBasedBreakIterator, and
     54  * RegexPattern.
