+/**
+ * <code>Replaceable</code> is an abstract base class representing a
+ * string of characters that supports the replacement of a range of
+ * itself with a new string of characters.  It is used by APIs that
+ * change a piece of text while retaining metadata.  Metadata is data
+ * other than the Unicode characters returned by char32At().  One
+ * example of metadata is style attributes; another is an edit
+ * history, marking each character with an author and revision number.
+ *
+ * <p>An implicit aspect of the <code>Replaceable</code> API is that
+ * during a replace operation, new characters take on the metadata of
+ * the old characters.  For example, if the string "the <b>bold</b>
+ * font" has range (4, 8) replaced with "strong", then it becomes "the
+ * <b>strong</b> font".
+ *
+ * <p><code>Replaceable</code> specifies ranges using a start
+ * offset and a limit offset.  The range of characters thus specified
+ * includes the characters at offset start..limit-1.  That is, the
+ * start offset is inclusive, and the limit offset is exclusive.
+ *
+ * <p><code>Replaceable</code> also includes API to access characters
+ * in the string: <code>length()</code>, <code>charAt()</code>,
+ * <code>char32At()</code>, and <code>extractBetween()</code>.
+ *
+ * <p>For a subclass to support metadata, typical behavior of
+ * <code>replace()</code> is the following:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>Set the metadata of the new text to the metadata of the first
+ *   character replaced</li>
+ *   <li>If no characters are replaced, use the metadata of the
+ *   previous character</li>
+ *   <li>If there is no previous character (i.e. start == 0), use the
+ *   following character</li>
+ *   <li>If there is no following character (i.e. the replaceable was
+ *   empty), use default metadata.<br>
+ *   <li>If the code point U+FFFF is seen, it should be interpreted as
+ *   a special marker having no metadata<li>
+ *   </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * If this is not the behavior, the subclass should document any differences.
