/**
 * Base class for objects to which Unicode characters and strings can be appended.
 * Combines elements of Java Appendable and ICU4C ByteSink.
 *
 * This class can be used in APIs where it does not matter whether the actual destination is
 * a UnicodeString, a char16_t[] array, a UnicodeSet, or any other object
 * that receives and processes characters and/or strings.
 *
 * Implementation classes must implement at least appendCodeUnit(char16_t).
 * The base class provides default implementations for the other methods.
 *
 * The methods do not take UErrorCode parameters.
 * If an error occurs (e.g., out-of-memory),
 * in addition to returning FALSE from failing operations,
 * the implementation must prevent unexpected behavior (e.g., crashes)
 * from further calls and should make the error condition available separately
 * (e.g., store a UErrorCode, make/keep a UnicodeString bogus).

     * scratchCapacity>=minCapacity.
     * The returned buffer is only valid until the next operation
     * on this Appendable.
     *
     * After writing at most *resultCapacity char16_ts, call appendString() with the
     * pointer returned from this function and the number of char16_ts written.
     * Many appendString() implementations will avoid copying char16_ts if this function
     * returned an internal buffer.
     *
     * Partial usage example:
     * \code
     *  int32_t capacity;
     *  char16_t* buffer = app.getAppendBuffer(..., &capacity);
     *  ... Write n char16_ts into buffer, with n <= capacity.
     *  app.appendString(buffer, n);
     * \endcode
     * In many implementations, that call to append will avoid copying char16_ts.
     *
     * If the Appendable allocates or reallocates an internal buffer, it should use
     * the desiredCapacityHint if appropriate.
     * If a caller cannot provide a reasonable guess at the desired capacity,
     * it should pass desiredCapacityHint=0.
     *
     * If a non-scratch buffer is returned, the caller may only pass
     * a prefix to it to appendString().
     * That is, it is not correct to pass an interior pointer to appendString().
     *
     * The default implementation always returns the scratch buffer.
     *
     * @param minCapacity required minimum capacity of the returned buffer;
     *                    must be non-negative
