/** 
 * Initialize interval patterns locale to this formatter
 * 
 * This code is a bit complicated since 
 * 1. the interval patterns saved in resource bundle files are interval
 *    patterns based on date or time only.
 *    It does not have interval patterns based on both date and time.
 *    Interval patterns on both date and time are algorithm generated.
 *
 *    For example, it has interval patterns on skeleton "dMy" and "hm",
 *    but it does not have interval patterns on skeleton "dMyhm".
 *    
 *    The rule to genearte interval patterns for both date and time skeleton are
 *    1) when the year, month, or day differs, 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" 
 *
 *    2) 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
