UOBJECT_DEFINE_RTTI_IMPLEMENTATION(TimeUnit)
/*
* There are only 7 time units.
* So, TimeUnit could be made as singleton
* (similar to uniset_props.cpp, or unorm.cpp,
* in which a static TimeUnit* array is created, and
* the creatInstance() returns a const TimeUnit*).
* But the constraint is TimeUnit is a data member of Measure.
* But Measure (which is an existing API) does not expect it's "unit" member
* as singleton. Meaure takes ownership of the "unit" member.
* In its constructor, it does not take a const "unit" pointer.
* Also, Measure can clone and destruct the "unit" pointer.
* In order to preserve the old behavior and let Measure handle singleton "unit",
* 1. a flag need to be added in Measure;
* 2. a new constructor which takes const "unit" as parameter need to be added,
* and this new constructor will set the flag on.
* 3. clone and destructor need to check upon this flag to distinguish on how
* to handle the "unit".
*
* Since TimeUnit is such a light weight object, comparing with the heavy weight
* format operation, we decided to avoid the above complication.
*
* So, both TimeUnit and CurrencyUnit (the 2 subclasses of MeasureUnit) are
* immutable and non-singleton.
*
* Currently, TimeUnitAmount and CurrencyAmount are immutable.
* If an application needs to create a long list of TimeUnitAmount on the same
* time unit but different number, for example,
* 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, ................. 10,000 hour,
* there might be performance hit because 10,000 TimeUnit object,
* although all are the same time unit, will be created in heap and deleted.
*
* To address this performance issue, if there is any in the future,
* we should and need to change TimeUnitAmount and CurrencyAmount to be
* immutable by allowing a setter on the number.
* Or we need to add 2 parallel mutable classes in order to
* preserve the existing API.
* Or we can use freezable.
