    107 Determines a true or false value for any Java <code>char</code> value, just as
    108  <A HREF="../../../../com/google/common/base/Predicate.html" title="interface in com.google.common.base"><CODE>Predicate</CODE></A> does for any <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>Object</CODE></A>. Also offers basic text
    109  processing methods based on this function. Implementations are strongly
    110  encouraged to be side-effect-free and immutable.
    111 
    112  <p>Throughout the documentation of this class, the phrase "matching
    113  character" is used to mean "any character <code>c</code> for which <code>this.matches(c)</code> returns <code>true</code>".
    114 
    115  <p><b>Note:</b> This class deals only with <code>char</code> values; it does not
    116  understand supplementary Unicode code points in the range <code>0x10000</code> to
    117  <code>0x10FFFF</code>. Such logical characters are encoded into a <code>String</code>
    118  using surrogate pairs, and a <code>CharMatcher</code> treats these just as two
    119  separate characters.
