/** provides functionality for hyphenation of single words.

    <P>Its three main functionalities are to provide a suitable position for
    breaking lines within a word, query about the existence of an alternative
    spelling at a specific position of a word and provide a list of
    possible hyphenation positions within a word.</P>

    <P>A hyphenation position for a word with n characters is represented
    by a value in the range from 0 to n-2, indicating the position
    of the character after which the hyphenation is done. That is,
    it is after the first and before the last character.</P>

    <P>A valid hyphenation position is a hyphenation position that
    fulfills all the restrictions implied by the properties
    MinLeading, MinTrailing and MinWordLength.</P>
