/**
 * This class represents a pre-computed series of bits representing a
 * <code>String</code> for under a particular <code>Collator</code>.  This
 * value may be compared bitwise against another <code>CollationKey</code>
 * representing a different <code>String</code> under the same
 * <code>Collator</code> in a manner than is usually more efficient than
 * using the raw <code>Collator</code> compare methods.  There is overhead
 * associated with calculating this value, so it is generally not
 * advisable to compute <code>CollationKey</code>'s unless multiple 
 * comparisons against a <code>String</code> will be done.  (For example,
 * in a sort routine).
 * <p>
 * This class cannot be instantiated directly.  Instead, a 
 * <code>CollationKey</code> is created by calling the
 * <code>getCollationKey</code> method on an instance of <code>Collator</code>.
