// TODO(efortuna): Customized pattern system -- suggested by i18n needs
// feedback on appropriateness.
/// DateFormat is for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive
/// manner.
///
/// It allows the user to choose from a set of standard date time formats as
/// well as specify a customized pattern under certain locales. Date elements
/// that vary across locales include month name, week name, field order, etc.
/// We also allow the user to use any customized pattern to parse or format
/// date-time strings under certain locales. Date elements that vary across
/// locales include month name, weekname, field, order, etc.
///
/// Formatting dates in the default 'en_US' format does not require any
/// initialization. e.g.
///
/// ```dart
/// print(new DateFormat.yMMMd().format(new DateTime.now()));
/// ```
///
/// But for other locales, the formatting data for the locale must be
/// obtained. This can currently be done in one of three ways, determined by
/// which library you import. In all cases, the 'initializeDateFormatting'
/// method must be called and will return a future that is complete once the
/// locale data is available. The result of the future isn't important, but the
/// data for that locale is available to the date formatting and parsing once it
/// completes.
///
/// The easiest option is that the data may be available locally, imported in a
/// library that contains data for all the locales.
///
/// ```dart
/// import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';
/// initializeDateFormatting('fr_FR', null).then((_) => runMyCode());
/// ```
///
/// If we are running outside of a browser, we may want to read the data
/// from files in the file system.
///
/// ```dart
/// import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_file.dart';
/// initializeDateFormatting('de_DE', null).then((_) => runMyCode());
/// ```
///
/// If we are running in a browser, we may want to read the data from the
/// server using the XmlHttpRequest mechanism.
///
/// ```dart
/// import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_http_request.dart';
/// initializeDateFormatting('pt_BR', null).then((_) => runMyCode());
/// ```
///
/// The code in example/basic/basic_example.dart shows a full example of
/// using this mechanism.
///
/// Once we have the locale data, we need to specify the particular format.
/// This library uses the ICU/JDK date/time pattern specification both for
/// complete format specifications and also the abbreviated 'skeleton' form
/// which can also adapt to different locales and is preferred where available.
///
/// Skeletons: These can be specified either as the ICU constant name or as the
/// skeleton to which it resolves. The supported set of skeletons is as follows.
/// For each skeleton there is a named constructor that can be used to create
/// it.  It's also possible to pass the skeleton as a string, but the
/// constructor is preferred.

/// When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ('yy'),
/// DateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year relative to some
/// century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before and 20
/// years after the time the parse function is called. For example, using a
/// pattern of 'MM/dd/yy' and a DateParse instance created on Jan 1, 1997,
/// the string '01/11/12' would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string
/// '05/04/64' would be interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only
/// strings consisting of exactly two digits will be parsed into the default
/// century. Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or
/// more digit string will be interpreted as its face value.
///
/// If the year pattern does not have exactly two 'y' characters, the year is
/// interpreted literally, regardless of the number of digits. So using the
/// pattern 'MM/dd/yyyy', '01/11/12' parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
