    - #### addClass

          public void addClass(String c)

      For testing purposes only. Add a character class. A character class defines characters that are considered equivalent for the purpose of hyphenation (e.g. "aA"). It usually means to ignore case.
      Specified by:
        `addClass` in interface `PatternConsumer`
      Parameters:
        `c` - character group

    - #### addException

                                   ArrayList e)

      For testing purposes only. Add a hyphenation exception. An exception replaces the result obtained by the algorithm for cases for which this fails or the user wants to provide his own hyphenation. A hyphenatedword is a vector of alternating String's and `Hyphen` instances
      Specified by:
        `addException` in interface `PatternConsumer`
      Parameters:
        `w` - word to add as an exception
        `e` - pre-hyphenated word

    - #### addPattern

          public void addPattern(String p,
                                 String v)

      For testing purposes only. Add hyphenation patterns.
      Specified by:
        `addPattern` in interface `PatternConsumer`
      Parameters:
        `p` - the pattern
        `v` - interletter values expressed as a string of digit characters.

    - #### setTestOut

          public void setTestOut(PrintStream testOut)

      Set test out stream.
      Parameters:
        `testOut` - the testOut to set

    - #### closeTestOut

          public void closeTestOut()

      Close test out file.

    - #### main

          public static void main(String[] args)
                           throws Exception

      Main entry point when used as an application.
      Parameters:
        `args` - array of command line arguments
      Throws:
        `Exception` - in case of uncaught exception
