/**
 * <code>Format</code> is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive
 * information such as dates, messages, and numbers.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>Format</code> defines the programming interface for formatting
 * locale-sensitive objects into <code>String</code>s (the
 * <code>format</code> method) and for parsing <code>String</code>s back
 * into objects (the <code>parseObject</code> method).
 *
 * <p>
 * Generally, a format's <code>parseObject</code> method must be able to parse
 * any string formatted by its <code>format</code> method. However, there may
 * be exceptional cases where this is not possible. For example, a
 * <code>format</code> method might create two adjacent integer numbers with
 * no separator in between, and in this case the <code>parseObject</code> could
 * not tell which digits belong to which number.
 *
 * <h3>Subclassing</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * The Java Platform provides three specialized subclasses of <code>Format</code>--
 * <code>DateFormat</code>, <code>MessageFormat</code>, and
 * <code>NumberFormat</code>--for formatting dates, messages, and numbers,
 * respectively.
 * <p>
 * Concrete subclasses must implement three methods:
 * <ol>
 * <li> <code>format(Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)</code>
 * <li> <code>formatToCharacterIterator(Object obj)</code>
 * <li> <code>parseObject(String source, ParsePosition pos)</code>
 * </ol>
 * These general methods allow polymorphic parsing and formatting of objects
 * and are used, for example, by <code>MessageFormat</code>.
 * Subclasses often also provide additional <code>format</code> methods for
 * specific input types as well as <code>parse</code> methods for specific
 * result types. Any <code>parse</code> method that does not take a
 * <code>ParsePosition</code> argument should throw <code>ParseException</code>
 * when no text in the required format is at the beginning of the input text.
 *
 * <p>
 * Most subclasses will also implement the following factory methods:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * <code>getInstance</code> for getting a useful format object appropriate
 * for the current locale
 * <li>
 * <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> for getting a useful format
 * object appropriate for the specified locale
 * </ol>
 * In addition, some subclasses may also implement other
 * <code>getXxxxInstance</code> methods for more specialized control. For
 * example, the <code>NumberFormat</code> class provides
 * <code>getPercentInstance</code> and <code>getCurrencyInstance</code>
 * methods for getting specialized number formatters.
 *
 * <p>
 * Subclasses of <code>Format</code> that allow programmers to create objects
 * for locales (with <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> for example)
 * must also implement the following class method:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * And finally subclasses may define a set of constants to identify the various
 * fields in the formatted output. These constants are used to create a FieldPosition
 * object which identifies what information is contained in the field and its
 * position in the formatted result. These constants should be named
 * <code><em>item</em>_FIELD</code> where <code><em>item</em></code> identifies
 * the field. For examples of these constants, see <code>ERA_FIELD</code> and its
 * friends in {@link DateFormat}.
 *
 * <h4><a id="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Formats are generally not synchronized.
 * It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
 * If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
 * externally.
