/**
* {@icuenhanced java.text.MessageFormat}.{@icu _usage_}
*
* <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>getInstance</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 a Map (which works for both named and numbered arguments).
*
* <p>Each argument is matched with one of the input values by array index or map key
* and formatted according to its pattern specification
* (or using a custom Format object if one was set).
* A numbered pattern argument is matched with a map key 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:
* <blockquote><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></blockquote>
*
* <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 MessagePattern.ApostropheMode}
*   <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 \u2019 for
* human-readable text, and 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>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><a name="diffsjdk">Differences from java.text.MessageFormat</a></h4>
*
* <p>The ICU MessageFormat supports both named and numbered arguments,
* while the JDK MessageFormat only supports numbered arguments.
* Named arguments make patterns more readable.
*
* <p>ICU implements a more user-friendly apostrophe quoting syntax.
* In message text, an apostrophe only begins quoting literal text
* if it immediately precedes a syntax character (mostly {curly braces}).<br>
* In the JDK MessageFormat, an apostrophe always begins quoting,
* which requires common text like "don't" and "aujourd'hui"
* to be written with doubled apostrophes like "don''t" and "aujourd''hui".
* For more details see {@link MessagePattern.ApostropheMode}.
*
* <p>ICU does not create a ChoiceFormat object for a choiceArg, pluralArg or selectArg
* but rather handles such arguments itself.
* The JDK MessageFormat does create and use a ChoiceFormat object
* (<code>new ChoiceFormat(argStyleText)</code>).
* The JDK does not support plural and select arguments at all.
*
* <h4>Usage Information</h4>
*
* <p>Here are some examples of usage:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* Object[] arguments = {
*     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 = { 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 messages that include plural forms, you can use a plural argument:
* <pre>
* MessageFormat msgFmt = new MessageFormat(
*     "{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}\".}}",
*     ULocale.ENGLISH);
* Map args = new HashMap();
* args.put("num_files", 0);
* args.put("disk_name", "MyDisk");
* System.out.println(msgFmt.format(args));
* args.put("num_files", 3);
* System.out.println(msgFmt.format(args));
*
* <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.
