/**
|
|
* An interface that defines both lookup protocol and parsing of
|
|
* symbolic names.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>This interface is used by UnicodeSet to resolve $Variable style
|
|
* references that appear in set patterns. RBBI and Transliteration
|
|
* both independently implement this interface.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>A symbol table maintains two kinds of mappings. The first is
|
|
* between symbolic names and their values. For example, if the
|
|
* variable with the name "start" is set to the value "alpha"
|
|
* (perhaps, though not necessarily, through an expression such as
|
|
* "$start=alpha"), then the call lookup("start") will return the
|
|
* char[] array ['a', 'l', 'p', 'h', 'a'].
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>The second kind of mapping is between character values and
|
|
* UnicodeMatcher objects. This is used by RuleBasedTransliterator,
|
|
* which uses characters in the private use area to represent objects
|
|
* such as UnicodeSets. If U+E015 is mapped to the UnicodeSet [a-z],
|
|
* then lookupMatcher(0xE015) will return the UnicodeSet [a-z].
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Finally, a symbol table defines parsing behavior for symbolic
|
|
* names. All symbolic names start with the SYMBOL_REF character.
|
|
* When a parser encounters this character, it calls parseReference()
|
|
* with the position immediately following the SYMBOL_REF. The symbol
|
|
* table parses the name, if there is one, and returns it.
