The following is from the taligent.products.unicode newsgroup.
We need to either remove IDENTICAL, or implement it.

Hi,
In jdk111 doc, it mentioned that the collator strength can be set to
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Identical.
I would like to make all differences to be considered significant during
comparison therefore we set the strength to IDENTICAL but this causes
IllegalArgumentException thrown by the Collator.setStrength(). I found that
the exception was thrown due to the fact that IDENTICAL is not supported by
setStrength() in Collator.java.

Is this a bug?
May I know how I can achieve my goal of making all differences significant
during comparison ?

Thank you.

Mei
