    TODO
 The following is a small list as to what is currently wrong/suggestions for
 ustdio.

* Make sure that * in the scanf format specification works for all formats.
 * Each UFILE takes up at least 2KB.
    Look into adding setvbuf() for configurable buffers.
 * This library does buffering. The OS should do this for us already. Check on
    this, and remove it from this library, if this is the case. Double buffering
    wastes a lot of time and space.
 * Test stdin and stdout with the u_f* functions
 * Testing should be done for reading and writing multi-byte encodings,
    and make sure that a character that is contained across buffer boundries
    works even for incomplete characters.
 * Make sure that the last character is flushed when the file/string is closed.
 * snprintf should follow the C99 standard for the return value, which is
    return the number of characters (excluding the trailing '\0')
    which would have been written to the destination string regardless
    of available space. This is like pre-flighting.
 * Everything that uses %s should do what operator>> does for UnicodeString.
    It should convert one byte at a time, and once a character is
    converted then check to see if it's whitespace or in the scanset.
    If it's whitespace or in the scanset, put all the bytes back (do nothing
    for sprintf/sscanf).
 * If bad string data is encountered, make sure that the function fails
    without memory leaks and the unconvertable characters are valid
    substitution or are escaped characters.
 * u_fungetc() can't unget a character when it's at the beginning of the
    internal conversion buffer. For example, read the buffer size # of
    characters, and then ungetc to get the previous character that was
    at the end of the last buffer.
 * u_fflush() and u_fclose should return an int32_t like C99 functions.
    0 is returned if the operation was successful and EOF otherwise.
 * u_fsettransliterator does not support U_READ side of transliteration.
 * The format specifier should limit the size of a format or honor it in
    order to prevent buffer overruns.  (e.g. %256.256d).
 * u_fread and u_fwrite don't exist. They're needed for reading and writing
    data structures without any conversion.
 * u_file_read and u_file_write are used for writing strings. u_fgets and
    u_fputs or u_fread and u_fwrite should be used to do this.
 * The width parameter for all scanf formats, including scanset, needs
    better testing. This prevents buffer overflows.
 * Figure out what is suppose to happen when a codepage is changed midstream.
    Maybe a flush or a rewind are good enough.
 * Make sure that a UFile opened with "rw" can be used after using
    u_fflush with a u_frewind.
 * scanf(%i) should detect what type of number to use.
 * Add more testing of the alternate format, %#
 * Look at newline handling of fputs/puts
 * Think more about codeunit/codepoint error handling/support in %S,%s,%C,%c,%[]
 * Complete the file documentation with proper doxygen formatting.
    See http://oss.software.ibm.com/pipermail/icu/2003-July/005647.html

/**
 * \file
 * \brief C API: Unicode stdio-like API
 *
 * <h2>Unicode stdio-like C API</h2>
 *
 * This API provides an stdio-like API wrapper around ICU's other
 * formatting and parsing APIs. It is meant to ease the transition of adding
 * Unicode support to a preexisting applications using stdio. The following
 * is a small list of noticable differences between stdio and ICU I/O's
 * ustdio implementation.
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Locale specific formatting and parsing is only done with file IO.</li>
 * <li>u_fstropen can be used to simulate file IO with strings.
 * This is similar to the iostream API, and it allows locale specific
 * formatting and parsing to be used.</li>
 * <li>This API provides uniform formatting and parsing behavior between
 * platforms (unlike the standard stdio implementations found on various
 * platforms).</li>
 * <li>This API is better suited for text data handling than binary data
 * handling when compared to the typical stdio implementation.</li>
 * <li>You can specify a Transliterator while using the file IO.</li>
 * <li>You can specify a file's codepage separately from the default
 * system codepage.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Formatting and Parsing Specification</h2>
 *
 * General printf format: 
 * %[format modifier][width][.precision][type modifier][format]
 * 
 * General scanf format: 
 * %[*][format modifier][width][type modifier][format]

If you are using this C API instead of the ustream.h API for C++,
you can use one of the following u_fprintf examples to display a UnicodeString.

<pre><code>
 UFILE *out = u_finit(stdout, NULL, NULL);
 UnicodeString string1("string 1");
 UnicodeString string2("string 2");
 u_fprintf(out, "%S\n", string1.getTerminatedBuffer());
 u_fprintf(out, "%.*S\n", string2.length(), string2.getBuffer());
 u_fclose(out);
</code></pre>
