// Description:
// e32\include\collate.h
// Definitions needed for Unicode collation.
// Collation is the comparison of two Unicode strings to produce an ordering
// that may be used in a dictionary or other list.
// Collation is implemented using the Standard Unicode Collation algorithm. There
// are four levels of comparison:
// primary: basic character identity
// secondary: accents and diacritics
// tertiary: upper and lower case, and other minor attributes
// quaternary: Unicode character value
// Punctuation is normally ignored but can optionally be taken into account.
// Strings are fully expanded using the standard Unicode canonical expansions before
// they are compared. Thai and Lao vowels are swapped with the following character
// if any.
// EUSER contains the 'basic collation method'. This method assigns the standard Unicode collation key values
// to the characters in the WGL4 repertoire, plus commonly used control characters and fixed-width spaces, plus
// the CJK ideograms (for which the keys can be generated algorithmically). Other characters are collated after
// all the characters for which keys are defined, and ordered by their Unicode values.
// Locales can supply any number of other collation methods. They will usually supply a 'tailoring' of the standard
// method. This is done by using the standard table as the main key table (signalled by placing NULL in
// TCollationMethod::iMainTable) and specifying an override table (TCollationMethod::iOverrideTable).
// Locale-specific collation data resides in ELOCL.
//

/**
Defines a collation method. 

Collation means sorting pieces of text. It needs to take into account characters, 
accents and case; spaces and punctuation are usually ignored. It differs from 
ordinary methods of sorting in that it is locale-dependent - different 
languages use different ordering methods. Additionally, multiple collation 
methods may exist within the same locale.

A collation method provides the collation keys and other data needed to customise 
collation; the Mem and TDesC16 collation functions (e.g. Mem::CompareC()) 
perform the collation. Note that these functions use the standard collation 
method for the current locale - you only need to specify an object of class 
TCollationMethod to customise this collation scheme. Collation methods can 
be retrieved using member functions of the Mem class. Each one has a unique 
identifier.

A collation method specifies a main table of collation keys, and optionally 
an overriding table that contains keys for which the values in the main table 
are overridden. A collation key table (TCollationKeyTable) is the set of collation 
keys: primary (basic character identity), secondary (accents and diacritics) 
and tertiary (case). The quaternary key is the Unicode character values themselves.

The simplest way to customise a collation method is to create a local copy 
of the standard collation method and change it. For example, you could use 
the standard method, but not ignore punctuation and spaces:

@code
TCollationMethod m = *Mem::CollationMethodByIndex(0); // get the standard method
m.iFlags |= TCollationMethod::EIgnoreNone; // dont ignore punctuation and spaces
@endcode
