47 * This interface extends the <code>CharacterIterator</code> interface

49 * over the characters themselves.
50 * <p>
51 * In addition to attributes of specific characters, this interface
52 * supports the concept of the "attribute run", which is an attribute
53 * that is defined for a particular value across an entire range of
54 * characters or which is undefined over a range of characters.
