  43  * class CompactATypeArray : use only on primitive data types
  44  * Provides a compact way to store information that is indexed by Unicode
  45  * values, such as character properties, types, keyboard values, etc.This
  46  * is very useful when you have a block of Unicode data that contains
  47  * significant values while the rest of the Unicode data is unused in the
  48  * application or when you have a lot of redundance, such as where all 21,000
  49  * Han ideographs have the same value.  However, lookup is much faster than a
  50  * hash table.
  51  * A compact array of any primitive data type serves two purposes:
  52  * <UL type = round>
  53  *     <LI>Fast access of the indexed values.
  54  *     <LI>Smaller memory footprint.
  55  * </UL>
  56  * A compact array is composed of a index array and value array.  The index
  57  * array contains the indicies of Unicode characters to the value array.
