/**
* <p>MessageFormat prepares strings for display to users,
* with optional arguments (variables/placeholders).
* The arguments can occur in any order, which is necessary for translation
* into languages with different grammars.
*
* <p>A MessageFormat is constructed from a <em>pattern</em> string
* with arguments in {curly braces} which will be replaced by formatted values.
*
* <p><code>MessageFormat</code> differs from the other <code>Format</code>
* classes in that you create a <code>MessageFormat</code> object with one
* of its constructors (not with a <code>createInstance</code> style factory
* method). Factory methods aren't necessary because <code>MessageFormat</code>
* itself doesn't implement locale-specific behavior. Any locale-specific
* behavior is defined by the pattern that you provide and the
* subformats used for inserted arguments.
*
* <p>Arguments can be named (using identifiers) or numbered (using small ASCII-digit integers).
* Some of the API methods work only with argument numbers and throw an exception
* if the pattern has named arguments (see {@link #usesNamedArguments()}).
*
* <p>An argument might not specify any format type. In this case,
* a Number value is formatted with a default (for the locale) NumberFormat,
* a Date value is formatted with a default (for the locale) DateFormat,
* and for any other value its toString() value is used.
*
* <p>An argument might specify a "simple" type for which the specified
* Format object is created, cached and used.
*
* <p>An argument might have a "complex" type with nested MessageFormat sub-patterns.
* During formatting, one of these sub-messages is selected according to the argument value
* and recursively formatted.
*
* <p>After construction, a custom Format object can be set for
* a top-level argument, overriding the default formatting and parsing behavior
* for that argument.
* However, custom formatting can be achieved more simply by writing
* a typeless argument in the pattern string
* and supplying it with a preformatted string value.
*
* <p>When formatting, MessageFormat takes a collection of argument values
* and writes an output string.
* The argument values may be passed as an array
* (when the pattern contains only numbered arguments)
* or as an array of names and and an array of arguments (which works for both named
* and numbered arguments).
*
* <p>Each argument is matched with one of the input values by array index or argument name
* and formatted according to its pattern specification
* (or using a custom Format object if one was set).
* A numbered pattern argument is matched with an argument name that contains that number
* as an ASCII-decimal-digit string (without leading zero).
*
* <h4><a name="patterns">Patterns and Their Interpretation</a></h4>
*
* <code>MessageFormat</code> uses patterns of the following form:
* <pre>
* message = messageText (argument messageText)*
* argument = noneArg | simpleArg | complexArg
* complexArg = choiceArg | pluralArg | selectArg | selectordinalArg
*
* noneArg = '{' argNameOrNumber '}'
* simpleArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' argType [',' argStyle] '}'
* choiceArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "choice" ',' choiceStyle '}'
* pluralArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "plural" ',' pluralStyle '}'
* selectArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "select" ',' selectStyle '}'
* selectordinalArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "selectordinal" ',' pluralStyle '}'
*
* choiceStyle: see {@link ChoiceFormat}
* pluralStyle: see {@link PluralFormat}
* selectStyle: see {@link SelectFormat}
*
* argNameOrNumber = argName | argNumber
* argName = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
* argNumber = '0' | ('1'..'9' ('0'..'9')*)
*
* argType = "number" | "date" | "time" | "spellout" | "ordinal" | "duration"
* argStyle = "short" | "medium" | "long" | "full" | "integer" | "currency" | "percent" | argStyleText
* </pre>
*
* <ul>
* <li>messageText can contain quoted literal strings including syntax characters.
* A quoted literal string begins with an ASCII apostrophe and a syntax character
* (usually a {curly brace}) and continues until the next single apostrophe.
* A double ASCII apostrohpe inside or outside of a quoted string represents
* one literal apostrophe.
* <li>Quotable syntax characters are the {curly braces} in all messageText parts,
* plus the '#' sign in a messageText immediately inside a pluralStyle,
* and the '|' symbol in a messageText immediately inside a choiceStyle.
* <li>See also {@link #UMessagePatternApostropheMode}
* <li>In argStyleText, every single ASCII apostrophe begins and ends quoted literal text,
* and unquoted {curly braces} must occur in matched pairs.
* </ul>
*
* <p>Recommendation: Use the real apostrophe (single quote) character
* \htmlonly&#x2019;\endhtmlonly (U+2019) for
* human-readable text, and use the ASCII apostrophe ' (U+0027)
* only in program syntax, like quoting in MessageFormat.
* See the annotations for U+0027 Apostrophe in The Unicode Standard.
*
* <p>The <code>choice</code> argument type is deprecated.
* Use <code>plural</code> arguments for proper plural selection,
* and <code>select</code> arguments for simple selection among a fixed set of choices.
*
* <p>The <code>argType</code> and <code>argStyle</code> values are used to create
* a <code>Format</code> instance for the format element. The following
* table shows how the values map to Format instances. Combinations not
* shown in the table are illegal. Any <code>argStyleText</code> must
* be a valid pattern string for the Format subclass used.

*
* <h4>Usage Information</h4>
*
* <p>Here are some examples of usage:
* Example 1:
*
* <pre>
* \code
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* GregorianCalendar cal(success);
* Formattable arguments[] = {
* 7L,
* Formattable( (Date) cal.getTime(success), Formattable::kIsDate),
* "a disturbance in the Force"
* };
*
* UnicodeString result;
* MessageFormat::format(
* "At {1,time} on {1,date}, there was {2} on planet {0,number}.",
* arguments, 3, result, success );
*
* cout << "result: " << result << endl;
* //<output>: At 4:34:20 PM on 23-Mar-98, there was a disturbance
* // in the Force on planet 7.
* \endcode
* </pre>
*
* Typically, the message format will come from resources, and the
* arguments will be dynamically set at runtime.
*
* <p>Example 2:
*
* <pre>
* \code
* success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* Formattable testArgs[] = {3L, "MyDisk"};
*
* MessageFormat form(
* "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0} file(s).", success );
*
* UnicodeString string;
* FieldPosition fpos = 0;
* cout << "format: " << form.format(testArgs, 2, string, fpos, success ) << endl;
*
* // output, with different testArgs:
* // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 0 file(s).
* // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1 file(s).
* // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 file(s).
* \endcode
* </pre>
*
*
* <p>For messages that include plural forms, you can use a plural argument:
* <pre>
* \code
* success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* MessageFormat msgFmt(
* "{num_files, plural, "
* "=0{There are no files on disk \"{disk_name}\".}"
* "=1{There is one file on disk \"{disk_name}\".}"
* "other{There are # files on disk \"{disk_name}\".}}",
* Locale("en"),
* success);
* FieldPosition fpos = 0;
* Formattable testArgs[] = {0L, "MyDisk"};
* UnicodeString testArgsNames[] = {"num_files", "disk_name"};
* UnicodeString result;
* cout << msgFmt.format(testArgs, testArgsNames, 2, result, fpos, 0, success);
* testArgs[0] = 3L;
* cout << msgFmt.format(testArgs, testArgsNames, 2, result, fpos, 0, success);
* \endcode
* <em>output</em>:
* There are no files on disk "MyDisk".
* There are 3 files on "MyDisk".
* </pre>
* See {@link PluralFormat} and {@link PluralRules} for details.
*
* <h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
*
* <p>MessageFormats are not synchronized.
* It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
* If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
* externally.
