/**
* Base class for all formats. This is an abstract base class which
* specifies the protocol for classes which convert other objects or
* values, such as numeric values and dates, and their string
* representations. In some cases these representations may be
* localized or contain localized characters or strings. For example,
* a numeric formatter such as DecimalFormat may convert a numeric
* value such as 12345 to the string "$12,345". It may also parse
* the string back into a numeric value. A date and time formatter
* like SimpleDateFormat may represent a specific date, encoded
* numerically, as a string such as "Wednesday, February 26, 1997 AD".
* <P>
* Many of the concrete subclasses of Format employ the notion of
* a pattern. A pattern is a string representation of the rules which
* govern the interconversion between values and strings. For example,
* a DecimalFormat object may be associated with the pattern
* "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)", which is a common US English format for
* currency values, yielding strings such as "$1,234.45" for 1234.45,
* and "($987.65)" for 987.6543. The specific syntax of a pattern
* is defined by each subclass.
* <P>
* Even though many subclasses use patterns, the notion of a pattern
* is not inherent to Format classes in general, and is not part of
* the explicit base class protocol.
* <P>
* Two complex formatting classes bear mentioning. These are
* MessageFormat and ChoiceFormat. ChoiceFormat is a subclass of
* NumberFormat which allows the user to format different number ranges
* as strings. For instance, 0 may be represented as "no files", 1 as
* "one file", and any number greater than 1 as "many files".
* MessageFormat is a formatter which utilizes other Format objects to
* format a string containing with multiple values. For instance,
* A MessageFormat object might produce the string "There are no files
* on the disk MyDisk on February 27, 1997." given the arguments 0,
* "MyDisk", and the date value of 2/27/97. See the ChoiceFormat
* and MessageFormat headers for further information.
* <P>
* If formatting is unsuccessful, a failing UErrorCode is returned when
* the Format cannot format the type of object, otherwise if there is
* something illformed about the the Unicode replacement character
* 0xFFFD is returned.
* <P>
* If there is no match when parsing, a parse failure UErrorCode is
* retured for methods which take no ParsePosition. For the method
* that takes a ParsePosition, the index parameter is left unchanged.
* <P>
* <em>User subclasses are not supported.</em> While clients may write
* subclasses, such code will not necessarily work and will not be
* guaranteed to work stably from release to release.

* Before calling, set parse_pos.index to the offset you want to

* is the end of the text you parsed. If error occurs, index is
* unchanged.

* When parsing, leading whitespace is discarded (with successful

* Parsing "_12_xy" (where _ represents a space) for a number,
* with index == 0 will result in the number 12, with

* Parsing a second time will result in a failing UErrorCode since

* <P>
* Subclasses will typically supply specific parse methods that
* return different types of values. Since methods can't overload
* on return types, these will typically be named "parse", while
* this polymorphic method will always be called parseObject. Any
* parse method that does not take a parse_pos should set status
* to an error value when no text in the required format is at the
* start position.
