+/**
+ * <p>
+ * <code>PluralFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
+ * messages with plural inflection. It is based on <i>plural
+ * selection</i>, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each
+ * plural case that can appear in the user's language and the
+ * <code>PluralFormat</code> selects the appropriate message based on
+ * the number.
+ * </p>
+ * <h4>The Problem of Plural Forms in Internationalized Messages</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * Different languages have different ways to inflect
+ * plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural
+ * forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural
+ * forms of <i>all</i> languages correctly. <code>ChoiceFormat</code>
+ * doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to
+ * each message and selects the message whose interval contains a
+ * given number. This can only handle a finite number of
+ * intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case
+ * applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the paucal case applies to
+ * numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or
+ * 14). Thus <code>ChoiceFormat</code> is not adequate.
+ * </p><p>
+ * <code>PluralFormat</code> deals with this by breaking the problem
+ * into two parts:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>It uses <code>PluralRules</code> that can define more complex
+ * conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural
+ * rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to
+ * which numbers these cases apply.
+ * <li>It provides predefined plural rules for many languages. Thus, the programmer
+ * need not worry about the plural cases of a language and
+ * does not have to define the plural cases; they can simply
+ * use the predefined keywords. The whole plural formatting of messages can
+ * be done using localized patterns from resource bundles. For predefined plural
+ * rules, see the CLDR <i>Language Plural Rules</i> page at
+ * http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * <h4>Usage of <code>PluralFormat</code></h4>
+ * <p>Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via <code>MessageFormat</code>
+ * with a <code>plural</code> argument type,
+ * rather than using a stand-alone <code>PluralFormat</code>.
+ * </p><p>
+ * This discussion assumes that you use <code>PluralFormat</code> with
+ * a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of
+ * the constructors that takes a <code>ULocale</code> object. To
+ * specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the
+ * constructor or set it explicitly using the
+ * <code>applyPattern()</code> method. The <code>format()</code>
+ * method takes a number object and selects the message of the
+ * matching plural case. This message will be returned.
+ * </p>
+ * <h5>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h5>
+ * <p>
+ * The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the
+ * specified locale. Syntax:
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ * pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+
+ * offsetValue = "offset:" number
+ * selector = explicitValue | keyword
+ * explicitValue = '=' number // adjacent, no white space in between
+ * keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
+ * message: see {@link MessageFormat}
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ * Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except
+ * between the {curly braces} and their sub-message,
+ * and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue.
+ *
+ * </p><p>
+ * There are 6 predefined case keywords in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and
+ * 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case
+ * "<code>other</code>" which is contained in every rule set.
+ * If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the
+ * message text of the plural case "<code>other</code>" gets assigned to this
+ * plural case.
+ * </p><p>
+ * When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses.
+ * If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling
+ * the <code>PluralRules</code> with the input number <em>minus the offset</em>.
+ * (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.)
+ * If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned.
+ * </p><p>
+ * An unquoted pound sign (<code>#</code>) in the selected sub-message
+ * itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message)
+ * is replaced by the input number minus the offset.
+ * The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a
+ * <code>NumberFormat</code> for the <code>PluralFormat</code>'s locale. If you
+ * need special number formatting, you have to use a <code>MessageFormat</code>
+ * and explicitly specify a <code>NumberFormat</code> argument.
+ * <strong>Note:</strong> That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset!
+ * If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the
+ * number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter.
+ * </p>
+ * For a usage example, see the {@link MessageFormat} class documentation.
+ *
+ * <h4>Defining Custom Plural Rules</h4>
+ * <p>If you need to use <code>PluralFormat</code> with custom rules, you can
+ * create a <code>PluralRules</code> object and pass it to
+ * <code>PluralFormat</code>'s constructor. If you also specify a locale in this
+ * constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message
+ * texts.
+ * </p><p>
+ * For more information about <code>PluralRules</code>, see
+ * {@link PluralRules}.
