/**
* <code>MessageFormat</code> provides a means to produce concatenated
* messages in a language-neutral way. Use this to construct messages
* displayed for end users.
*
* <p>
* <code>MessageFormat</code> 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</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 as well as the
* subformats used for inserted arguments.
*
* <h3><a name="patterns">Patterns and Their Interpretation</a></h3>
*
* <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>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>''</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.

*
* <h4>Usage Information</h4>
*
* <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</code>,
* which internally creates a <code>MessageFormat</code> 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</code> 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</code>:
* <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</code>
* 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</code>:
* <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</code> programmatically, as in the
* above example, or by using a pattern. See {@link java.text.ChoiceFormat 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</code> in <code>MessageFormat</code> is treated as special;
* occurrences of '{' are used to indicate 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,
* <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>
*
* <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.

* 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.
