      The current RuleBasedCollator doesn't work well with Thai and Lao.
      Both of these languages' character blocks in the Unicode standard
      include vowel signs that are stored in VISUAL order rather than
      LOGICAL order (this breaks the normal Unicode semantics, but the
      committee did it this way to be consistent with existing encoding
      standards for these languages). However, words in these
      languages are still sorted as if the characters were stored in
      logical order. Accommodating this using the current collation
      design requires a very large set of rules, one for each vowel-
      consonant combination. We need a mechanism--either in
      RuleBasedCollator or in a new subclass of Collator--to allow
      certain characters to be handled out of order.
