/**
 * DateIntervalFormat is a class for formatting and parsing date
 * intervals in a language-independent manner.
 * Only formatting is supported, parsing is not supported.
 *
 * <P>
 * Date interval means from one date to another date,
 * for example, from "Jan 11, 2008" to "Jan 18, 2008".
 * We introduced class DateInterval to represent it.
 * DateInterval is a pair of UDate, which is
 * the standard milliseconds since 24:00 GMT, Jan 1, 1970.
 *
 * <P>
 * DateIntervalFormat formats a DateInterval into
 * text as compactly as possible.
 * For example, the date interval format from "Jan 11, 2008" to "Jan 18,. 2008"
 * is "Jan 11-18, 2008" for English.
 * And it parses text into DateInterval,
 * although initially, parsing is not supported.
 *
 * <P>
 * There is no structural information in date time patterns.
 * For any punctuations and string literals inside a date time pattern,
 * we do not know whether it is just a separator, or a prefix, or a suffix.
 * Without such information, so, it is difficult to generate a sub-pattern
 * (or super-pattern) by algorithm.
 * So, formatting a DateInterval is pattern-driven. It is very
 * similar to formatting in SimpleDateFormat.
 * We introduce class DateIntervalInfo to save date interval
 * patterns, similar to date time pattern in SimpleDateFormat.
 *
 * <P>
 * Logically, the interval patterns are mappings
 * from (skeleton, the_largest_different_calendar_field)
 * to (date_interval_pattern).
 *
 * <P>
 * A skeleton
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * only keeps the field pattern letter and ignores all other parts
 * in a pattern, such as space, punctuations, and string literals.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * hides the order of fields.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * might hide a field's pattern letter length.
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * For those non-digit calendar fields, the pattern letter length is
 * important, such as MMM, MMMM, and MMMMM; EEE and EEEE,
 * and the field's pattern letter length is honored.
 *
 * For the digit calendar fields,  such as M or MM, d or dd, yy or yyyy,
 * the field pattern length is ignored and the best match, which is defined
 * in date time patterns, will be returned without honor the field pattern
 * letter length in skeleton.
 *
 * <P>
 * The calendar fields we support for interval formatting are:
 * year, month, date, day-of-week, am-pm, hour, hour-of-day, minute, and second
 * (though we do not currently have specific intervalFormat date for skeletons
 * with seconds).
 * Those calendar fields can be defined in the following order:
 * year >  month > date > hour (in day) >  minute > second
 *
 * The largest different calendar fields between 2 calendars is the
 * first different calendar field in above order.
 *
 * For example: the largest different calendar fields between "Jan 10, 2007"
 * and "Feb 20, 2008" is year.
 *
 * <P>
 * For other calendar fields, the compact interval formatting is not
 * supported. And the interval format will be fall back to fall-back
 * patterns, which is mostly "{date0} - {date1}".
 *
 * <P>
 * There is a set of pre-defined static skeleton strings.
 * There are pre-defined interval patterns for those pre-defined skeletons
 * in locales' resource files.
 * For example, for a skeleton UDAT_YEAR_ABBR_MONTH_DAY, which is  &quot;yMMMd&quot;,
 * in  en_US, if the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2
 * is &quot;year&quot;, the date interval pattern  is &quot;MMM d, yyyy - MMM d, yyyy&quot;,
 * such as &quot;Jan 10, 2007 - Jan 10, 2008&quot;.
 * If the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2 is &quot;month&quot;,
 * the date interval pattern is &quot;MMM d - MMM d, yyyy&quot;,
 * such as &quot;Jan 10 - Feb 10, 2007&quot;.
 * If the largest different calendar field between date1 and date2 is &quot;day&quot;,
 * the date interval pattern is &quot;MMM d-d, yyyy&quot;, such as &quot;Jan 10-20, 2007&quot;.
 *
 * For date skeleton, the interval patterns when year, or month, or date is
 * different are defined in resource files.
 * For time skeleton, the interval patterns when am/pm, or hour, or minute is
 * different are defined in resource files.
 *
 * <P>
 * If a skeleton is not found in a locale's DateIntervalInfo, which means
 * the interval patterns for the skeleton is not defined in resource file,
 * the interval pattern will falls back to the interval "fallback" pattern
 * defined in resource file.
 * If the interval "fallback" pattern is not defined, the default fall-back
 * is "{date0} - {data1}".
 *
 * <P>
 * For the combination of date and time,
 * The rule to generate interval patterns are:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 *    when the year, month, or day differs, falls back to fall-back
 *    interval pattern, which mostly is the concatenate the two original
 *    expressions with a separator between,
 *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"
 *    to "Jan 11, 2007 10:10am" is
 *    "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am - Jan 11, 2007 10:10am"
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    otherwise, present the date followed by the range expression
 *    for the time.
 *    For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am"
 *    to "Jan 10, 2007 11:10am" is "Jan 10, 2007 10:10 am - 11:10am"
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 *
 *
 * <P>
 * If two dates are the same, the interval pattern is the single date pattern.
 * For example, interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007" to "Jan 10, 2007" is
 * "Jan 10, 2007".
 *
 * Or if the presenting fields between 2 dates have the exact same values,
 * the interval pattern is the  single date pattern.
 * For example, if user only requests year and month,
 * the interval pattern from "Jan 10, 2007" to "Jan 20, 2007" is "Jan 2007".
 *
 * <P>
 * DateIntervalFormat needs the following information for correct
 * formatting: time zone, calendar type, pattern, date format symbols,
 * and date interval patterns.
 * It can be instantiated in 2 ways:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 *    create an instance using default or given locale plus given skeleton.
 *    Users are encouraged to created date interval formatter this way and
 *    to use the pre-defined skeleton macros, such as
 *    UDAT_YEAR_NUM_MONTH, which consists the calendar fields and
 *    the format style.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 *    create an instance using default or given locale plus given skeleton
 *    plus a given DateIntervalInfo.
 *    This factory method is for powerful users who want to provide their own
 *    interval patterns.
 *    Locale provides the timezone, calendar, and format symbols information.
 *    Local plus skeleton provides full pattern information.
 *    DateIntervalInfo provides the date interval patterns.
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <P>
 * For the calendar field pattern letter, such as G, y, M, d, a, h, H, m, s etc.
 * DateIntervalFormat uses the same syntax as that of
 * DateTime format.
 *
 * <P>
 * Code Sample: general usage
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *   // the date interval object which the DateIntervalFormat formats on
 *   // and parses into
 *   DateInterval*  dtInterval = new DateInterval(1000*3600*24, 1000*3600*24*2);
 *   UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *   DateIntervalFormat* dtIntervalFmt = DateIntervalFormat::createInstance(
 *                           UDAT_YEAR_MONTH_DAY,
 *                           Locale("en", "GB", ""), status);
 *   UnicodeUnicodeString dateIntervalString;
 *   FieldPosition pos = 0;
 *   // formatting
 *   dtIntervalFmt->format(dtInterval, dateIntervalUnicodeString, pos, status);
 *   delete dtIntervalFmt;
 * \endcode
