 * <p>
 * Simple class wrapper to store the internal byte representation of a 
 * CollationKey. Unlike the CollationKey, this class do not contain information 
 * on the source string the sort order represents. RawCollationKey is mutable 
 * and users can reuse its objects with the method in 
 * RuleBasedCollator.getRawCollationKey(..).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Please refer to the documentation on CollationKey for a detail description
 * on the internal byte representation. Note the internal byte representation 
 * is always null-terminated.
 * </p> 
 * <code>
 * Example of use:<br>
 * String str[] = {.....};
 * RuleBasedCollator collator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance();
 * RawCollationKey key = new RawCollationKey(128);
 * for (int i = 0; i &lt; str.length; i ++) {
 *     collator.getRawCollationKey(str[i], key);
 *     // do something with key.bytes
 * }
 * </code>
 * <p><strong>Note:</strong> Comparison between RawCollationKeys created by 
 * different Collators might return incorrect results.  
 * See class documentation for Collator.</p>
