// A class which extracts words that can be checked for spelling from a
// multi-language string. The ICU word-break iterator does not discard some
// punctuation characters attached to a word. For example, when we set a word
// "_hello_" to a word-break iterator, it just returns "_hello_". Neither does
// it discard characters not used by the language. For example, it returns
// Russian words even though we need English words only. To extract only the
// words that our spellchecker can check their spellings, this class uses custom
// rule-sets created by the SpellcheckCharAttribute class. Also, this class
// normalizes extracted words so our spellchecker can check the spellings of
// words that include ligatures, combined characters, full-width characters,
// etc. This class uses UTF-16 strings as its input and output strings since
// UTF-16 is the native encoding of ICU and avoid unnecessary conversions
// when changing the encoding of this string for our spellchecker. (Chrome can
// use two or more spellcheckers and we cannot assume their encodings.)
