  35  * <code>UnicodeFilter</code> defines a protocol for selecting a
  36  * subset of the full range (U+0000 to U+10FFFF) of Unicode characters.
  37  * Currently, filters are used in conjunction with classes like {@link
  38  * Transliterator} to only process selected characters through a
  39  * transformation.
  40  *
  41  * <p>Note: UnicodeFilter currently stubs out two pure virtual methods
  42  * of its base class, UnicodeMatcher.  These methods are toPattern()
  43  * and matchesIndexValue().  This is done so that filter classes that
  44  * are not actually used as matchers -- specifically, those in the
  45  * UnicodeFilterLogic component, and those in tests -- can continue to
  46  * work without defining these methods.  As long as a filter is not
  47  * used in an RBT during real transliteration, these methods will not
  48  * be called.  However, this breaks the UnicodeMatcher base class
  49  * protocol, and it is not a correct solution.
  50  *
  51  * <p>In the future we may revisit the UnicodeMatcher / UnicodeFilter
  52  * hierarchy and either redesign it, or simply remove the stubs in
  53  * UnicodeFilter and force subclasses to implement the full
  54  * UnicodeMatcher protocol.
