/**

 * An interpreter for printf-style format strings.  This class provides support

 * for layout justification and alignment, common formats for numeric, string,

 * and date/time data, and locale-specific output.  Common Java types such as

 * {@code byte}, {@link java.math.BigDecimal BigDecimal}, and {@link Calendar}

 * are supported.  Limited formatting customization for arbitrary user types is

 * provided through the {@link Formattable} interface.

 *

 * <p> Formatters are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access.  Thread

 * safety is optional and is the responsibility of users of methods in this

 * class.

 *

 * <p> Formatted printing for the Java language is heavily inspired by C's

 * {@code printf}.  Although the format strings are similar to C, some

 * customizations have been made to accommodate the Java language and exploit

 * some of its features.  Also, Java formatting is more strict than C's; for

 * example, if a conversion is incompatible with a flag, an exception will be

 * thrown.  In C inapplicable flags are silently ignored.  The format strings

 * are thus intended to be recognizable to C programmers but not necessarily

 * completely compatible with those in C.

 *

 * <p> Examples of expected usage:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

 *   // Send all output to the Appendable object sb

 *   Formatter formatter = new Formatter(sb, Locale.US);

 *

 *   // Explicit argument indices may be used to re-order output.

 *   formatter.format("%4$2s %3$2s %2$2s %1$2s", "a", "b", "c", "d")

 *   // -> " d  c  b  a"

 *

 *   // Optional locale as the first argument can be used to get

 *   // locale-specific formatting of numbers.  The precision and width can be

 *   // given to round and align the value.

 *   formatter.format(Locale.FRANCE, "e = %+10.4f", Math.E);

 *   // -> "e =    +2,7183"

 *

 *   // The '(' numeric flag may be used to format negative numbers with

 *   // parentheses rather than a minus sign.  Group separators are

 *   // automatically inserted.

 *   formatter.format("Amount gained or lost since last statement: $ %(,.2f",

 *                    balanceDelta);

 *   // -> "Amount gained or lost since last statement: $ (6,217.58)"

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> Convenience methods for common formatting requests exist as illustrated

 * by the following invocations:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   // Writes a formatted string to System.out.

 *   System.out.format("Local time: %tT", Calendar.getInstance());

 *   // -> "Local time: 13:34:18"

 *

 *   // Writes formatted output to System.err.

 *   System.err.printf("Unable to open file '%1$s': %2$s",

 *                     fileName, exception.getMessage());

 *   // -> "Unable to open file 'food': No such file or directory"

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> Like C's {@code sprintf(3)}, Strings may be formatted using the static

 * method {@link String#format(String,Object...) String.format}:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   // Format a string containing a date.

 *   import java.util.Calendar;

 *   import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

 *   import static java.util.Calendar.*;

 *

 *   Calendar c = new GregorianCalendar(1995, MAY, 23);

 *   String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);

 *   // -> s == "Duke's Birthday: May 23, 1995"

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <h3><a name="org">Organization</a></h3>

 *

 * <p> This specification is divided into two sections.  The first section, <a

 * href="#summary">Summary</a>, covers the basic formatting concepts.  This

 * section is intended for users who want to get started quickly and are

 * familiar with formatted printing in other programming languages.  The second

 * section, <a href="#detail">Details</a>, covers the specific implementation

 * details.  It is intended for users who want more precise specification of

 * formatting behavior.

 *

 * <h3><a name="summary">Summary</a></h3>

 *

 * <p> This section is intended to provide a brief overview of formatting

 * concepts.  For precise behavioral details, refer to the <a

 * href="#detail">Details</a> section.

 *

 * <h4><a name="syntax">Format String Syntax</a></h4>

 *

 * <p> Every method which produces formatted output requires a <i>format

 * string</i> and an <i>argument list</i>.  The format string is a {@link

 * String} which may contain fixed text and one or more embedded <i>format

 * specifiers</i>.  Consider the following example:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   Calendar c = ...;

 *   String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * This format string is the first argument to the {@code format} method.  It

 * contains three format specifiers "{@code %1$tm}", "{@code %1$te}", and

 * "{@code %1$tY}" which indicate how the arguments should be processed and

 * where they should be inserted in the text.  The remaining portions of the

 * format string are fixed text including {@code "Dukes Birthday: "} and any

 * other spaces or punctuation.

 *

 * The argument list consists of all arguments passed to the method after the

 * format string.  In the above example, the argument list is of size one and

 * consists of the {@link java.util.Calendar Calendar} object {@code c}.

 *

 * <ul>

 *

 * <li> The format specifiers for general, character, and numeric types have

 * the following syntax:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   %[argument_index$][flags][width][.precision]conversion

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>argument_index</i> is a decimal integer indicating the

 * position of the argument in the argument list.  The first argument is

 * referenced by "{@code 1$}", the second by "{@code 2$}", etc.

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>flags</i> is a set of characters that modify the output

 * format.  The set of valid flags depends on the conversion.

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>width</i> is a non-negative decimal integer indicating

 * the minimum number of characters to be written to the output.

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>precision</i> is a non-negative decimal integer usually

 * used to restrict the number of characters.  The specific behavior depends on

 * the conversion.

 *

 * <p> The required <i>conversion</i> is a character indicating how the

 * argument should be formatted.  The set of valid conversions for a given

 * argument depends on the argument's data type.

 *

 * <li> The format specifiers for types which are used to represents dates and

 * times have the following syntax:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   %[argument_index$][flags][width]conversion

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>argument_index</i>, <i>flags</i> and <i>width</i> are

 * defined as above.

 *

 * <p> The required <i>conversion</i> is a two character sequence.  The first

 * character is {@code 't'} or {@code 'T'}.  The second character indicates

 * the format to be used.  These characters are similar to but not completely

 * identical to those defined by GNU {@code date} and POSIX

 * {@code strftime(3c)}.

 *

 * <li> The format specifiers which do not correspond to arguments have the

 * following syntax:

 *

 * <blockquote><pre>

 *   %[flags][width]conversion

 * </pre></blockquote>

 *

 * <p> The optional <i>flags</i> and <i>width</i> is defined as above.

 *

 * <p> The required <i>conversion</i> is a character indicating content to be

 * inserted in the output.

 *

 * </ul>

 *

 * <h4> Conversions </h4>

 *

 * <p> Conversions are divided into the following categories:

 *

 * <ol>

 *

 * <li> <b>General</b> - may be applied to any argument

 * type

 *

 * <li> <b>Character</b> - may be applied to basic types which represent

 * Unicode characters: {@code char}, {@link Character}, {@code byte}, {@link

 * Byte}, {@code short}, and {@link Short}. This conversion may also be

 * applied to the types {@code int} and {@link Integer} when {@link

 * Character#isValidCodePoint} returns {@code true}

 *

 * <li> <b>Numeric</b>

 *

 * <ol>

 *

 * <li> <b>Integral</b> - may be applied to Java integral types: {@code byte},

 * {@link Byte}, {@code short}, {@link Short}, {@code int} and {@link

 * Integer}, {@code long}, {@link Long}, and {@link java.math.BigInteger

 * BigInteger}

 *

 * <li><b>Floating Point</b> - may be applied to Java floating-point types:

 * {@code float}, {@link Float}, {@code double}, {@link Double}, and {@link

 * java.math.BigDecimal BigDecimal}

 *

 * </ol>

 *

 * <li> <b>Date/Time</b> - may be applied to Java types which are capable of

 * encoding a date or time: {@code long}, {@link Long}, {@link Calendar}, and

 * {@link Date}.

 *

 * <li> <b>Percent</b> - produces a literal {@code '%'}

 * (<tt>'&#92;u0025'</tt>)

 *

 * <li> <b>Line Separator</b> - produces the platform-specific line separator

 *

 * </ol>

 *

 * <p> The following table summarizes the supported conversions.  Conversions

 * denoted by an upper-case character (i.e. {@code 'B'}, {@code 'H'},

 * {@code 'S'}, {@code 'C'}, {@code 'X'}, {@code 'E'}, {@code 'G'},

 * {@code 'A'}, and {@code 'T'}) are the same as those for the corresponding

 * lower-case conversion characters except that the result is converted to

 * upper case according to the rules of the prevailing {@link java.util.Locale

 * Locale}.  The result is equivalent to the following invocation of {@link

 * String#toUpperCase()}

 *

 * <pre>

 *    out.toUpperCase() </pre>
