/**
 * {@icuenhanced java.text.DateFormatSymbols}.{@icu _usage_}
 *
 * <p><code>DateFormatSymbols</code> is a public class for encapsulating
 * localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the
 * months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data.
 * <code>DateFormat</code> and <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> both use
 * <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> to encapsulate this information.
 *
 * <p>Typically you shouldn't use <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> directly.
 * Rather, you are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with the
 * <code>DateFormat</code> class's factory methods: <code>getTimeInstance</code>,
 * <code>getDateInstance</code>, or <code>getDateTimeInstance</code>.
 * These methods automatically create a <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> for
 * the formatter so that you don't have to. After the
 * formatter is created, you may modify its format pattern using the
 * <code>setPattern</code> method. For more information about
 * creating formatters using <code>DateFormat</code>'s factory methods,
 * see {@link DateFormat}.
 *
 * <p>If you decide to create a date-time formatter with a specific
 * format pattern for a specific locale, you can do so with:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * new SimpleDateFormat(aPattern, new DateFormatSymbols(aLocale)).
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p><code>DateFormatSymbols</code> objects are clonable. When you obtain
 * a <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> object, feel free to modify the
 * date-time formatting data. For instance, you can replace the localized
 * date-time format pattern characters with the ones that you feel easy
 * to remember. Or you can change the representative cities
 * to your favorite ones.
 *
 * <p>New <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> subclasses may be added to support
 * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> for date-time formatting for additional locales.

     * Returns the {@link DateFormatSymbols} object that should be used to format a

     * <p>
     * <b>Subclassing:</b><br>
     * When creating a new Calendar subclass, you must create the
     * {@link ResourceBundle ResourceBundle}
     * containing its {@link DateFormatSymbols DateFormatSymbols} in a specific place.
     * The resource bundle name is based on the calendar's fully-specified
     * class name, with ".resources" inserted at the end of the package name
     * (just before the class name) and "Symbols" appended to the end.
     * For example, the bundle corresponding to "com.ibm.icu.util.HebrewCalendar"
     * is "com.ibm.icu.impl.data.HebrewCalendarSymbols".
     * <p>
     * Within the ResourceBundle, this method searches for five keys:
     * <ul>
     * <li><b>DayNames</b> -
     *      An array of strings corresponding to each possible
     *      value of the <code>DAY_OF_WEEK</code> field.  Even though
     *      <code>DAY_OF_WEEK</code> starts with <code>SUNDAY</code> = 1,
     *      This array is 0-based; the name for Sunday goes in the
     *      first position, at index 0.  If this key is not found
     *      in the bundle, the day names are inherited from the
     *      default <code>DateFormatSymbols</code> for the requested locale.
     *
     * <li><b>DayAbbreviations</b> -
     *      An array of abbreviated day names corresponding
     *      to the values in the "DayNames" array.  If this key
     *      is not found in the resource bundle, the "DayNames"
