/**
* <p>
* <code>PluralFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
* messages with plural inflection. It is based on <i>plural
* selection</i>, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each
* plural case that can appear in the user's language and the
* <code>PluralFormat</code> selects the appropriate message based on
* the number.
* </p>
* <h4>The Problem of Plural Forms in Internationalized Messages</h4>
* <p>
* Different languages have different ways to inflect
* plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural
* forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural
* forms of <i>all</i> languages correctly. <code>ChoiceFormat</code>
* doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to
* each message and selects the message whose interval contains a
* given number. This can only handle a finite number of
* intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case
* applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the plural case applies to
* numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or
* 14). Thus <code>ChoiceFormat</code> is not adequate.
* </p><p>
* <code>PluralFormat</code> deals with this by breaking the problem
* into two parts:
* <ul>
* <li>It uses <code>PluralRules</code> that can define more complex
* conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural
* rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to
* which numbers these cases apply.
* <li>It provides predefined plural rules for many languages. Thus, the programmer
* need not worry about the plural cases of a language and
* does not have to define the plural cases; they can simply
* use the predefined keywords. The whole plural formatting of messages can
* be done using localized patterns from resource bundles. For predefined plural
* rules, see the CLDR <i>Language Plural Rules</i> page at
* http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
* </ul>
* </p>
* <h4>Usage of <code>PluralFormat</code></h4>
* <p>Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via <code>MessageFormat</code>
* with a <code>plural</code> argument type,
* rather than using a stand-alone <code>PluralFormat</code>.
* </p><p>
* This discussion assumes that you use <code>PluralFormat</code> with
* a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of
* the constructors that takes a <code>locale</code> object. To
* specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the
* constructor or set it explicitly using the
* <code>applyPattern()</code> method. The <code>format()</code>
* method takes a number object and selects the message of the
* matching plural case. This message will be returned.
* </p>
* <h5>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h5>
* <p>
* The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the
* specified locale. Syntax:
* <pre>
* pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+
* offsetValue = "offset:" number
* selector = explicitValue | keyword
* explicitValue = '=' number // adjacent, no white space in between
* keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
* message: see {@link MessageFormat}
* </pre>
* Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except
* between the {curly braces} and their sub-message,
* and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue.
*
* </p><p>
* There are 6 predefined casekeyword in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and
* 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case
* <code>other</code> which is contained in every rule set.
* If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the
* message text of the plural case <code>other</code> gets assigned to this
* plural case.
* </p><p>
* When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses.
* If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling
* the <code>PluralRules</code> with the input number <em>minus the offset</em>.
* (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.)
* If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned.
* </p><p>
* An unquoted pound sign (<code>#</code>) in the selected sub-message
* itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message)
* is replaced by the input number minus the offset.
* The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a
* <code>NumberFormat</code> for the <code>PluralFormat</code>'s locale. If you
* need special number formatting, you have to use a <code>MessageFormat</code>
* and explicitly specify a <code>NumberFormat</code> argument.
* <strong>Note:</strong> That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset!
* If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the
* number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter.
* </p>
* For a usage example, see the {@link MessageFormat} class documentation.
*
* <h4>Defining Custom Plural Rules</h4>
* <p>If you need to use <code>PluralFormat</code> with custom rules, you can
* create a <code>PluralRules</code> object and pass it to
* <code>PluralFormat</code>'s constructor. If you also specify a locale in this
* constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message
* texts.
* </p><p>
* For more information about <code>PluralRules</code>, see
* {@link PluralRules}.
