/**
* \file
* \brief C API: UFieldPositionIterator for use with format APIs.
*
* Usage:
* ufieldpositer_open creates an empty (unset) UFieldPositionIterator.
* This can be passed to format functions such as {@link #udat_formatForFields},
* which will set it to apply to the fields in a particular formatted string.
* ufieldpositer_next can then be used to iterate over those fields,
* providing for each field its type (using values that are specific to the
* particular format type, such as date or number formats), as well as the
* start and end positions of the field in the formatted string.
* A given UFieldPositionIterator can be re-used for different format calls;
* each such call resets it to apply to that format string.
* ufieldpositer_close should be called to dispose of the UFieldPositionIterator
* when it is no longer needed.
*
