/**
* A ChoiceFormat allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers.
* It is generally used in a MessageFormat for doing things like plurals.
* The choice is specified with an ascending list of doubles, where each item
* specifies a half-open interval up to the next item:
* <p><code>ChoiceFormat</code> converts between ranges of numeric values
* and string names for those ranges. A <code>ChoiceFormat</code> splits
* the real number line <code>-Inf</code> to <code>+Inf</code> into two
* or more contiguous ranges. Each range is mapped to a
* string. <code>ChoiceFormat</code> is generally used in a
* <code>MessageFormat</code> for displaying grammatically correct
* plurals such as &quot;There are 2 files.&quot;</p>
*
* <p>There are two methods of defining a <code>ChoiceFormat</code>; both
* are equivalent. The first is by using a string pattern. This is the
* preferred method in most cases. The second method is through direct
* specification of the arrays that make up the
* <code>ChoiceFormat</code>.</p>
*
* <p><strong>Patterns</strong></p>
*
* <p>In most cases, the preferred way to define a
* <code>ChoiceFormat</code> is with a pattern. Here is an example of a
* <code>ChoiceFormat</code> pattern:</p>
*
* <pre> 0#are no files|1#is one file|1&lt;are many files</pre>
*
* <p>The pattern consists of a number or <em>range specifiers</em>
* separated by vertical bars U+007C (<code>|</code>). There is no
* vertical bar after the last range. Each range specifier is of the
* form <em>number separator string</em>.</p>
*
* <p><em>Number</em> is a floating point number that can be parsed by a
* default <code>NumberFormat</code> for the US locale. It gives the
* lower limit of this range. The lower limit is either inclusive or
* exclusive, depending on the <em>separator</em>. (The upper limit is
* given by the lower limit of the next range.) The Unicode infinity
* sign U+221E is recognized for positive infinity. It may be preceded by
* '<code>-</code>' (U+002D) to indicate negative infinity.</p>
*
* <p><em>String</em> is the format string for this range, with special
* characters enclosed in single quotes (<code>'The #
* sign'</code>). Single quotes themselves are indicated by two single
* quotes in a row (<code>'o''clock'</code>).</p>
*
* <p><em>Separator</em> is one of the following single characters:
*
* <ul>
* <li>U+0023 (<code>#</code>) indicates that the lower limit given by
* <em>number</em> is inclusive. That is, the limit value belongs to
* this range. Another way of saying this is that the corresponding
* closure is <code>FALSE</code>. The Unicode less than or equals
* sign U+2264 may be used in place of <code>#</code>.</li>
* <li>U+003C (<code>&lt;</code>) indicates that the lower limit given
* by <em>number</em> is exclusive. This means that the limit
* belongs to the prior range.</li> Another way of saying this is
* that the corresponding closure is <code>TRUE</code>.
* </ul>
*
* <p>See below for more information about closures.</p>
*
* <p><strong>Arrays</strong></p>
*
* <p>A <code>ChoiceFormat</code> defining <code>n</code> intervals
* (<code>n</code> &gt;= 2) is specified by three arrays of
* <code>n</code> items:
*
* <ul>
* <li><code>double limits[]</code> gives the start of each
* interval. This must be a non-decreasing list of values, none of
* which may be <code>NaN</code>.</li>
* <li><code>UBool closures[]</code> determines whether each limit
* value is contained in the interval below it or in the interval
* above it. If <code>closures[i]</code> is <code>FALSE</code>, then
* <code>limits[i]</code> is a member of interval
* <code>i</code>. Otherwise it is a member of interval
* <code>i+1</code>. If no closures array is specified, this is
* equivalent to having all closures be <code>FALSE</code>. Closures
* allow one to specify half-open, open, or closed intervals.</li>
* <li><code>UnicodeString formats[]</code> gives the string label
* associated with each interval.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p><strong>Formatting and Parsing</strong></p>
*
* <p>During formatting, a number is converted to a
* string. <code>ChoiceFormat</code> accomplishes this by mapping the
* number to an interval using the following rule. Given a number
* <code>X</code> and and index value <code>j</code> in the range
* <code>0..n-1</code>, where <code>n</code> is the number of ranges:</p>
*
* <blockquote><code>X</code> matches <code>j</code> if and only if
* <code>limit[j] &lt;= X &lt; limit[j+1]</code>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p>(This assumes that all closures are <code>FALSE</code>. If some
* closures are <code>TRUE</code> then the relations must be changed to
* <code>&lt;=</code> or <code>&lt;</code> as appropriate.) If there is
* no match, then either the first or last index is used, depending on
* whether the number is too low or too high. Once a number is mapped to
* an interval <code>j</code>, the string <code>formats[j]</code> is
* output.</p>
*
* <p>During parsing, a string is converted to a
* number. <code>ChoiceFormat</code> finds the element
* <code>formats[j]</code> equal to the string, and returns
* <code>limits[j]</code> as the parsed value.</p>
*
* <p><strong>Notes</strong></p>
*
* <p>The first limit value does not define a range boundary. For
* example, in the pattern &quot;<code>1.0#a|2.0#b</code>&quot;, the
* intervals are [-Inf, 2.0) and [2.0, +Inf]. It appears that the first
* interval should be [1.0, 2.0). However, since all values that are too
* small are mapped to range zero, the first interval is effectively
* [-Inf, 2.0). However, the first limit value <em>is</em> used during
* formatting. In this example, <code>parse(&quot;a&quot;)</code> returns
* 1.0.</p>
*
* <p>There are no gaps between intervals and the entire number line is
* covered. A <code>ChoiceFormat</code> maps <em>all</em> possible
* double values to a finite set of intervals.</p>
*
* <p>The non-number <code>NaN</code> is mapped to interval zero during
* formatting.</p>
*
* <p><strong>Examples</strong></p>
*
* <p>Here is an example of two arrays that map the number
* <code>1..7</code> to the English day of the week abbreviations
* <code>Sun..Sat</code>. No closures array is given; this is the same as
* specifying all closures to be <code>FALSE</code>.</p>
*
* <pre> {1,2,3,4,5,6,7},
* {&quot;Sun&quot;,&quot;Mon&quot;,&quot;Tue&quot;,&quot;Wed&quot;,&quot;Thur&quot;,&quot;Fri&quot;,&quot;Sat&quot;}</pre>
*
* <p>Here is an example that maps the ranges [-Inf, 1), [1, 1], and (1,
* +Inf] to three strings. That is, the number line is split into three
* ranges: x &lt; 1.0, x = 1.0, and x &gt; 1.0.</p>
*
* <pre> {0, 1, 1},
* {FALSE, FALSE, TRUE},
* {&quot;no files&quot;, &quot;one file&quot;, &quot;many files&quot;}</pre>
*
* <p>Here is a simple example that shows formatting and parsing: </p>
*
* <pre>
* \code
* X matches j if and only if limit[j] <= X < limit[j+1]
* \endcode
* </pre>
* If there is no match, then either the first or last index is used, depending
* on whether the number is too low or too high. The length of the array of
* formats must be the same as the length of the array of limits.
* For example,
* <pre>
* \code
* {1,2,3,4,5,6,7},
* {"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thur","Fri","Sat"}
* {0, 1, ChoiceFormat::nextDouble(1)},
* {"no files", "one file", "many files"}
* \endcode
* </pre>
* (nextDouble can be used to get the next higher double, to make the half-open
* interval.)
* <P>
* Here is a simple example that shows formatting and parsing:
* <pre>
* \code
* void SimpleChoiceExample( void )
* {
* #include &lt;unicode/choicfmt.h&gt;
* #include &lt;unicode/unistr.h&gt;
* #include &lt;iostream.h&gt;
*
* int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
* double limits[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
* UnicodeString monthNames[] = {"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thur","Fri","Sat"};
* ChoiceFormat* form = new ChoiceFormat(limits, monthNames, 7 );
* ParsePosition* status = new ParsePosition(0);
* UnicodeString monthNames[] = {
* &quot;Sun&quot;,&quot;Mon&quot;,&quot;Tue&quot;,&quot;Wed&quot;,&quot;Thu&quot;,&quot;Fri&quot;,&quot;Sat&quot;};
* ChoiceFormat fmt(limits, monthNames, 7);
* UnicodeString str;
* FieldPosition f1(0), f2(0);
* for (double i = 0.0; i <= 8.0; ++i) {
* status->setIndex(0);
* Formattable parseResult;
* str.remove();
* cout << i << " -> " << form->format(i,str, f1)
* << " -> " << parseResult << endl;
* char buf[256];
* for (double x = 1.0; x &lt;= 8.0; x += 1.0) {
* fmt.format(x, str);
* buf[str.extract(0, str.length(), buf, 256, &quot;&quot;)] = 0;
* str.truncate(0);
* cout &lt;&lt; x &lt;&lt; &quot; -&gt; &quot;
* &lt;&lt; buf &lt;&lt; endl;
* }
* delete form;
* delete status;
* cout << endl;
* cout &lt;&lt; endl;
* return 0;
* }
* \endcode

* delete pattform;

* cout &lt;&lt; endl;
* return 0;
* }
* \endcode
* </pre>
* ChoiceFormat objects may be converted to and from patterns. The
* syntax of these patterns is [TODO fill in this section with detail].
* Here is an example of a ChoiceFormat pattern:
* <P>
* You can either do this programmatically, as in the above example,
* or by using a pattern (see ChoiceFormat for more information) as in:
* <pre>
* \code
* "0#are no files|1#is one file|1&lt;are many files"
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Here the notation is:
* <pre>
* \code
* <number> "#" Specifies a limit value.
* <number> "<" Specifies a limit of nextDouble(<number>).
* <number> ">" Specifies a limit of previousDouble(<number>).
* \endcode
* </pre>
* Each limit value is followed by a string, which is terminated by
* a vertical bar character ("|"), except for the last string, which
* is terminated by the end of the string.
