// in a string.  (In the string " foo bar! ", the word breaks are at the
// periods in ". .foo. .bar.!. .".)
//
// To extract the words from a string, move a WordIterator through the
// string and test whether IsWord() is true.  E.g.,
//   WordIterator iter(str, WordIterator::BREAK_WORD);
//   if (!iter.Init()) return false;
//   while (iter.Advance()) {
//     if (iter.IsWord()) {
//       // region [iter.prev(),iter.pos()) contains a word.
//       LOG(INFO) << "word: " << iter.GetWord();
//     }
//   }
