+/**
+ * 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, second,
+ * and millisecond.
+ * (though we do not currently have specific intervalFormat date for skeletons
+ * with seconds and millisecond).
+ * Those calendar fields can be defined in the following order:
+ * year >  month > date > hour (in day) >  minute > second > millisecond
+ *
+ * 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
+ * </pre>
