/**
 * {@code MessageFormat} provides a means to produce concatenated
 * messages in a language-neutral way. Use this to construct messages
 * displayed for end users.
 *
 * <p>
 * {@code MessageFormat} takes a set of objects, formats them, then
 * inserts the formatted strings into the pattern at the appropriate places.
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong>
 * {@code MessageFormat} differs from the other {@code Format}
 * classes in that you create a {@code MessageFormat} object with one
 * of its constructors (not with a {@code getInstance} style factory
 * method). The factory methods aren't necessary because {@code MessageFormat}
 * itself doesn't implement locale specific behavior. Any locale specific
 * behavior is defined by the pattern that you provide as well as the
 * subformats used for inserted arguments.
 *
 * <h2><a id="patterns">Patterns and Their Interpretation</a></h2>
 *
 * {@code MessageFormat} 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>ArgumentIndex</i> }
 *         { <i>ArgumentIndex</i> , <i>FormatType</i> }
 *         { <i>ArgumentIndex</i> , <i>FormatType</i> , <i>FormatStyle</i> }
 *
 * <i>FormatType: one of </i>
 *         number date time choice
 *
 * <i>FormatStyle:</i>
 *         short
 *         medium
 *         long
 *         full
 *         integer
 *         currency
 *         percent
 *         <i>SubformatPattern</i>
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>Within a <i>String</i>, a pair of single quotes can be used to
 * quote any arbitrary characters except single quotes. For example,
 * pattern string <code>"'{0}'"</code> represents string
 * <code>"{0}"</code>, not a <i>FormatElement</i>. A single quote itself
 * must be represented by doubled single quotes {@code ''} throughout a
 * <i>String</i>.  For example, pattern string <code>"'{''}'"</code> is
 * interpreted as a sequence of <code>'{</code> (start of quoting and a
 * left curly brace), {@code ''} (a single quote), and
 * <code>}'</code> (a right curly brace and end of quoting),
 * <em>not</em> <code>'{'</code> and <code>'}'</code> (quoted left and
 * right curly braces): representing string <code>"{'}"</code>,
 * <em>not</em> <code>"{}"</code>.
 *
 * <p>A <i>SubformatPattern</i> is interpreted by its corresponding
 * subformat, and subformat-dependent pattern rules apply. For example,
 * pattern string <code>"{1,number,<u>$'#',##</u>}"</code>
 * (<i>SubformatPattern</i> with underline) will produce a number format
 * with the pound-sign quoted, with a result such as: {@code
 * "$#31,45"}. Refer to each {@code Format} subclass documentation for
 * details.
 *
 * <p>Any unmatched quote is treated as closed at the end of the given
 * pattern. For example, pattern string {@code "'{0}"} is treated as
 * pattern {@code "'{0}'"}.
 *
 * <p>Any curly braces within an unquoted pattern must be balanced. For
 * example, <code>"ab {0} de"</code> and <code>"ab '}' de"</code> are
 * valid patterns, but <code>"ab {0'}' de"</code>, <code>"ab } de"</code>
 * and <code>"''{''"</code> are not.
 *
 * <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 {@code MessageFormat}.
 * Note that localizers may need to use single quotes in translated
 * strings where the original version doesn't have them.
 * </dl>
 * <p>
 * The <i>ArgumentIndex</i> value is a non-negative integer written
 * using the digits {@code '0'} through {@code '9'}, and represents an index into the
 * {@code arguments} array passed to the {@code format} methods
 * or the result array returned by the {@code parse} methods.
 * <p>
 * The <i>FormatType</i> and <i>FormatStyle</i> values are used to create
 * a {@code Format} instance for the format element. The following
 * table shows how the values map to {@code Format} instances. Combinations not
 * shown in the table are illegal. A <i>SubformatPattern</i> must
 * be a valid pattern string for the {@code Format} subclass used.

 *
 * <h3>Usage Information</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * Here are some examples of usage.
 * In real internationalized programs, the message format pattern and other
 * static strings will, of course, be obtained from resource bundles.
 * Other parameters will be dynamically determined at runtime.
 * <p>
 * The first example uses the static method {@code MessageFormat.format},
 * which internally creates a {@code MessageFormat} for one-time use:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * int planet = 7;
 * String event = "a disturbance in the Force";
 *
 * String result = MessageFormat.format(
 *     "At {1,time} on {1,date}, there was {2} on planet {0,number,integer}.",
 *     planet, new Date(), event);
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * The output is:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * At 12:30 PM on Jul 3, 2053, there was a disturbance in the Force on planet 7.
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * The following example creates a {@code MessageFormat} instance that
 * can be used repeatedly:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * int fileCount = 1273;
 * String diskName = "MyDisk";
 * Object[] testArgs = {new Long(fileCount), diskName};
 *
 * MessageFormat form = new MessageFormat(
 *     "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0} file(s).");
 *
 * System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * The output with different values for {@code fileCount}:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains 0 file(s).
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains 1 file(s).
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 file(s).
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * For more sophisticated patterns, you can use a {@code ChoiceFormat}
 * to produce correct forms for singular and plural:
 * <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);
 *
 * int fileCount = 1273;
 * String diskName = "MyDisk";
 * Object[] testArgs = {new Long(fileCount), diskName};
 *
 * System.out.println(form.format(testArgs));
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * The output with different values for {@code fileCount}:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains no files.
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains one file.
 * The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 files.
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * You can create the {@code ChoiceFormat} programmatically, as in the
 * above example, or by using a pattern. See {@link ChoiceFormat}
 * for more information.
 * <blockquote><pre>{@code
 * form.applyPattern(
 *    "There {0,choice,0#are no files|1#is one file|1<are {0,number,integer} files}.");
 * }</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> As we see above, the string produced
 * by a {@code ChoiceFormat} in {@code MessageFormat} is treated as special;
 * occurrences of '{' are used to indicate subformats, and cause recursion.
 * If you create both a {@code MessageFormat} and {@code ChoiceFormat}
 * 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,
 * <blockquote><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></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * Likewise, parsing with a {@code MessageFormat} object using patterns containing
 * multiple occurrences of the same argument would return the last match.  For
 * example,
 * <blockquote><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></blockquote>
 *
 * <h3><a id="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h3>
 *
 * <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.

     * Parses the string.
     *
     * <p>Caveats: The parse may fail in a number of circumstances.
     * For example:
     * <ul>
     * <li>If one of the arguments does not occur in the pattern.
     * <li>If the format of an argument loses information, such as
     *     with a choice format where a large number formats to "many".
     * <li>Does not yet handle recursion (where
     *     the substituted strings contain {n} references.)
     * <li>Will not always find a match (or the correct match)
     *     if some part of the parse is ambiguous.
     *     For example, if the pattern "{1},{2}" is used with the
     *     string arguments {"a,b", "c"}, it will format as "a,b,c".
     *     When the result is parsed, it will return {"a", "b,c"}.
     * <li>If a single argument is parsed more than once in the string,
     *     then the later parse wins.
     * </ul>
     * When the parse fails, use ParsePosition.getErrorIndex() to find out
     * where in the string the parsing failed.  The returned error
     * index is the starting offset of the sub-patterns that the string
     * is comparing with.  For example, if the parsing string "AAA {0} BBB"
     * is comparing against the pattern "AAD {0} BBB", the error index is
     * 0. When an error occurs, the call to this method will return null.
     * If the source is null, return an empty array.
