/**
* CPtiEngine class. 
*
* This is the main client side API for PtiEngine. The purpose of PtiEngine API is
* to provide a single calling point for low level (below UI) text input functionality.
* The API provides methods for querying and activating installed input languages, changing 
* input modes and text cases and performing text input operations. The API contains 
* set of methods for latin based, Chinese and Japanese text input. Some of the methods
* are common to all of those variants. PtiEngine also provides access to predictive
* text input functionality, in case there is need to use it directly without
* standard CEikEdwin / FEP chain (hence the name 'predictive text input engine')
* Predictive text engine integration is hidden behind PtiCore plugin API and is used
* through PtiEngine main API. 
*
*  Usage:
*          PtiEngine is created by calling CPtiEngine::NewL method. In typical use case
*          there is no need to pass core uid parameter to NewL method.
*          Constructor will load and set up available core objects.
*
*  Typical use cases:
* 
*     Entering text in latin multitapping mode
*     ----------------------------------------
* 
*                 CPtiEngine* aEngine = CPtiEngine::NewL();

*                 aEngine->AppendKeyPress(EPtiKey6);
*                 aEngine->AppendKeyPress(EPtiKey6);
*                 aEngine->AppendKeyPress(EPtiKey6);
*                 aEngine->AppendKeyPress(EPtiKey4);
*                 TBuf<100> temp;
*                 temp.Copy(aEngine->CurrentWord());  // At this point temp would contain 
*                                                     // word "dog".

*                                                      // (depending on the underlying engine)
*                                                      // word "this".
*                 temp.Copy(aEngine->NextCandidate()); // Move on to next candidate.
*                 aEngine->CommitCurrentWord();        // Tell engine that current word was accepted,
*                                                      // so that the underlyinbg engine keeps
