 * Block2 is CJK_COMPAT_USED
 * Block3 is CJK_A

 *  The only meaningful status you can get back is
 *  U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR, which basically means that you
 *  have been dealt a raw deal and that you probably won't
 *  be able to use partial sortkey generation for this
 *  particular combination of string and collator. This
 *  is highly unlikely, but you should still check the error code.
 *  Any other status means that you're not in a sane situation
 *  anymore. After the first call, preserve state values and
 *  use them on subsequent calls to obtain more bytes of a sortkey.
 *  Use until the number of bytes written is smaller than the requested
 *  number of bytes. Generated sortkey is not compatible with the
 *  one generated by ucol_getSortKey, as we don't do any compression.
 *  However, levels are still terminated by a 1 (one) and the sortkey
 *  is terminated by a 0 (zero). Identical level is the same as in the
 *  regular sortkey - internal bocu-1 implementation is used.
 *  For curious, although you cannot do much about this, here is
 *  the structure of state words.
 *  state[0] - iterator state. Depends on the iterator implementation,
 *             but allows the iterator to continue where it stopped in
 *             the last iteration.
 *  state[1] - collation processing state. Here is the distribution
 *             of the bits:
 *   0, 1, 2 - level of the sortkey - primary, secondary, case, tertiary
 *             quaternary, quin (we don't use this one), identical and
 *             null (producing only zeroes - first one to terminate the
 *             sortkey and subsequent to fill the buffer).
 *   3       - byte count. Number of bytes written on the primary level.
 *   4       - was shifted. Whether the previous iteration finished in the
 *             shifted state.
 *   5, 6    - French continuation bytes written. See the comment in the enum
 *   7,8     - Bocsu bytes used. Number of bytes from a bocu sequence on
 *             the identical level.
 *   9..31   - CEs consumed. Number of getCE or next32 operations performed
 *             since thes last successful update of the iterator state.
