/**
* {@icuenhanced java.text.MessageFormat}.{@icu _usage_}
*
* <p>MessageFormat produces concatenated messages in a language-neutral
* way. Use this whenever concatenating strings that are displayed to
* end users.
*
* <p>A MessageFormat contains an array of <em>subformats</em> arranged
* within a <em>template string</em>. Together, the subformats and
* template string determine how the MessageFormat will operate during
* formatting and parsing.
*
* <p>Typically, both the subformats and the template string are
* specified at once in a <em>pattern</em>. By using different
* patterns for different locales, messages may be localized.
*
* <p>When formatting, MessageFormat takes a collection of arguments
* and produces a user-readable string. The arguments may be passed
* as an array or as a Map. Each argument is matched up with its
* corresponding subformat, which then formats it into a string. The
* resulting strings are then assembled within the string template of
* the MessageFormat to produce the final output string.
*
* <p><strong>Note:</strong>
* <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>getInstance</code> style factory
* method). The 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><strong>Note:</strong>
* In ICU 3.8 MessageFormat supports named arguments. If a named argument
* is used, all arguments must be named. Names start with a character in
* <code>:ID_START:</code> and continue with characters in <code>:ID_CONTINUE:</code>,
* in particular they do not start with a digit. If named arguments
* are used, {@link #usesNamedArguments()} will return true.
*
* <p>The other new methods supporting named arguments are
* {@link #setFormatsByArgumentName(Map)},
* {@link #setFormatByArgumentName(String, Format)},
* {@link #format(Map, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)},
* {@link #format(String, Map)}, {@link #parseToMap(String, ParsePosition)},
* and {@link #parseToMap(String)}. These methods are all compatible
* with patterns that do not used named arguments-- in these cases
* the keys in the input or output <code>Map</code>s use
* <code>String</code>s that name the argument indices, e.g. "0",
* "1", "2"... etc.
*
* <p>When named arguments are used, certain methods on MessageFormat that take or
* return arrays will throw an exception, since it is not possible to
* identify positions in an array using a name. These methods are
* {@link #setFormatsByArgumentIndex(Format[])},
* {@link #setFormatByArgumentIndex(int, Format)},
* {@link #getFormatsByArgumentIndex()},
* {@link #getFormats()},
* {@link #format(Object[], StringBuffer, FieldPosition)},
* {@link #format(String, Object[])},
* {@link #parse(String, ParsePosition)}, and
* {@link #parse(String)}.
* These APIs all have corresponding new versions as listed above.
*
* <p>The API {@link #format(Object, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)} has
* been modified so that the <code>Object</code> argument can be
* either an <code>Object</code> array or a <code>Map</code>. If this
* format uses named arguments, this argument must not be an
* <code>Object</code> array otherwise an exception will be thrown.
* If the argument is a <code>Map</code> it can be used with Strings that
* represent indices as described above.
*
* <h4><a name="patterns">Patterns and Their Interpretation</a></h4>
*
* <code>MessageFormat</code> uses patterns of the following form:
* <blockquote><pre>
* <i>MessageFormatPattern:</i>
* <i>String</i>
* <i>MessageFormatPattern</i> <i>FormatElement</i> <i>String</i>
*
* <i>FormatElement:</i>
* { <i>ArgumentIndexOrName</i> }
* { <i>ArgumentIndexOrName</i> , <i>FormatType</i> }
* { <i>ArgumentIndexOrName</i> , <i>FormatType</i> , <i>FormatStyle</i> }
*
* <i>ArgumentIndexOrName: one of </i>
* ['0'-'9']+
* [:ID_START:][:ID_CONTINUE:]*
*
* <i>FormatType: one of </i>
* number date time choice spellout ordinal duration plural
*
* <i>FormatStyle:</i>
* short
* medium
* long
* full
* integer
* currency
* percent
* <i>SubformatPattern</i>
* <i>RulesetName</i>
*
* <i>String:</i>
* <i>StringPart<sub>opt</sub></i>
* <i>String</i> <i>StringPart</i>
*
* <i>StringPart:</i>
* ''
* ' <i>QuotedString</i> '
* <i>UnquotedString</i>
*
* <i>SubformatPattern:</i>
* <i>SubformatPatternPart<sub>opt</sub></i>
* <i>SubformatPattern</i> <i>SubformatPatternPart</i>
*
* <i>SubFormatPatternPart:</i>
* ' <i>QuotedPattern</i> '
* <i>UnquotedPattern</i>
* </pre></blockquote>
*
* <i>RulesetName:</i>
* <i>UnquotedString</i>
*
* <p>Within a <i>String</i>, <code>"''"</code> represents a single
* quote. A <i>QuotedString</i> can contain arbitrary characters
* except single quotes; the surrounding single quotes are removed.
* An <i>UnquotedString</i> can contain arbitrary characters
* except single quotes and left curly brackets. Thus, a string that
* should result in the formatted message "'{0}'" can be written as
* <code>"'''{'0}''"</code> or <code>"'''{0}'''"</code>.
*
* <p>Within a <i>SubformatPattern</i>, different rules apply.
* A <i>QuotedPattern</i> can contain arbitrary characters
* except single quotes; but the surrounding single quotes are
* <strong>not</strong> removed, so they may be interpreted by the
* subformat. For example, <code>"{1,number,$'#',##}"</code> will
* produce a number format with the pound-sign quoted, with a result
* such as: "$#31,45".
* An <i>UnquotedPattern</i> can contain arbitrary characters
* except single quotes, but curly braces within it must be balanced.
* For example, <code>"ab {0} de"</code> and <code>"ab '}' de"</code>
* are valid subformat patterns, but <code>"ab {0'}' de"</code> and
* <code>"ab } de"</code> are not.
*
* <p><dl><dt><b>Warning:</b><dd>The rules for using quotes within message
* format patterns unfortunately have shown to be somewhat confusing.
* In particular, it isn't always obvious to localizers whether single
* quotes need to be doubled or not. Make sure to inform localizers about
* the rules, and tell them (for example, by using comments in resource
* bundle source files) which strings will be processed by MessageFormat.
* Note that localizers may need to use single quotes in translated
* strings where the original version doesn't have them.
*
* <br>Note also that the simplest way to avoid the problem is to
* use the real apostrophe (single quote) character \u2019 (') for
* human-readable text, and to use the ASCII apostrophe (\u0027 ' )
* only in program syntax, like quoting in MessageFormat.
* See the annotations for U+0027 Apostrophe in The Unicode Standard.</p>
* </dl>
*
* <p>The <i>ArgumentIndex</i> value is a non-negative integer written
* using the digits '0' through '9', and represents an index into the
* <code>arguments</code> array passed to the <code>format</code> methods
* or the result array returned by the <code>parse</code> methods.
*
* <p>The <i>FormatType</i> and <i>FormatStyle</i> 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. A <i>SubformatPattern</i> must
* be a valid pattern string for the Format subclass used.

* <h4>Usage Information</h4>
*
* <p>Here are some examples of usage:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* Object[] arguments = {
* new Integer(7),
* new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()),
* "a disturbance in the Force"
* };
*
* String result = MessageFormat.format(
* "At {1,time} on {1,date}, there was {2} on planet {0,number,integer}.",
* arguments);
*
* <em>output</em>: At 12:30 PM on Jul 3, 2053, there was a disturbance
* in the Force on planet 7.
*
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* Typically, the message format will come from resources, and the
* arguments will be dynamically set at runtime.
*
* <p>Example 2:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* Object[] testArgs = {new Long(3), "MyDisk"};
*
* MessageFormat form = new MessageFormat(
* "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0} file(s).");
*
* System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
*
* // output, with different testArgs
* <em>output</em>: The disk "MyDisk" contains 0 file(s).
* <em>output</em>: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1 file(s).
* <em>output</em>: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 file(s).
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p>For more sophisticated patterns, you can use a <code>ChoiceFormat</code> to get
* output such as:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* MessageFormat form = new MessageFormat("The disk \"{1}\" contains {0}.");
* double[] filelimits = {0,1,2};
* String[] filepart = {"no files","one file","{0,number} files"};
* ChoiceFormat fileform = new ChoiceFormat(filelimits, filepart);
* form.setFormatByArgumentIndex(0, fileform);
*
* Object[] testArgs = {new Long(12373), "MyDisk"};
*
* System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
*
* // output, with different testArgs
* output: The disk "MyDisk" contains no files.
* output: The disk "MyDisk" contains one file.
* output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 files.
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* You can either do this programmatically, as in the above example,
* or by using a pattern (see
* {@link ChoiceFormat}
* for more information) as in:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* form.applyPattern(
* "There {0,choice,0#are no files|1#is one file|1&lt;are {0,number,integer} files}.");
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p><strong>Note:</strong> As we see above, the string produced
* by a <code>ChoiceFormat</code> in <code>MessageFormat</code> is treated specially;
* occurances of '{' are used to indicated subformats, and cause recursion.
* If you create both a <code>MessageFormat</code> and <code>ChoiceFormat</code>
* programmatically (instead of using the string patterns), then be careful not to
* produce a format that recurses on itself, which will cause an infinite loop.
*
* <p>When a single argument is parsed more than once in the string, the last match
* will be the final result of the parsing. For example,
* <pre>
* MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0,number,#.##}, {0,number,#.#}");
* Object[] objs = {new Double(3.1415)};
* String result = mf.format( objs );
* // result now equals "3.14, 3.1"
* objs = null;
* objs = mf.parse(result, new ParsePosition(0));
* // objs now equals {new Double(3.1)}
* </pre>
*
* <p>Likewise, parsing with a MessageFormat object using patterns containing
* multiple occurances of the same argument would return the last match. For
* example,
* <pre>
* MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0}, {0}, {0}");
* String forParsing = "x, y, z";
* Object[] objs = mf.parse(forParsing, new ParsePosition(0));
* // result now equals {new String("z")}
* </pre>
*
* <h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
*
* <p>Message formats 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.
