      7 // This code is a contribution of Google code, and the style used here is
      8 // a compromise between the original Google code and the ICU coding guidelines.
      9 // For example, data types are ICU-ified (size_t,int->int32_t),
     10 // and API comments doxygen-ified, but function names and behavior are
     11 // as in the original, if possible.
     12 // Assertion-style error handling, not available in ICU, was changed to
     13 // parameter "pinning" similar to UnicodeString.
     14 //
     15 // In addition, this is only a partial port of the original Google code,
     16 // limited to what was needed so far. The (nearly) complete original code
     17 // is in the ICU svn repository at icuhtml/trunk/design/strings/contrib
     18 // (see ICU ticket 6765, r25517).
