19  * A UDateIntervalFormat is used to format the range between two UDate values
20  * in a locale-sensitive way, using a skeleton that specifies the precision and
21  * completeness of the information to show. If the range smaller than the resolution
22  * specified by the skeleton, a single date format will be produced. If the range
23  * is larger than the format specified by the skeleton, a locale-specific fallback
24  * will be used to format the items missing from the skeleton.
25  *
26  * For example, if the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-04 19:56 (12 hours)
27  * - The skeleton jm will produce
28  *   for en_US, "7:56 AM - 7:56 PM"
29  *   for en_GB, "7:56 - 19:56"
30  * - The skeleton MMMd will produce
31  *   for en_US, "Mar 4"
32  *   for en_GB, "4 Mar"
33  * If the range is 2010-03-04 07:56 - 2010-03-08 16:11 (4 days, 8 hours, 15 minutes)
34  * - The skeleton jm will produce
35  *   for en_US, "3/4/2010 7:56 AM - 3/8/2010 4:11 PM"
36  *   for en_GB, "4/3/2010 7:56 - 8/3/2010 16:11"
37  * - The skeleton MMMd will produce
38  *   for en_US, "Mar 4-8"
39  *   for en_GB, "4-8 Mar"
40  *
41  * Note:  the "-" characters in the above sample output will actually be
42  * Unicode 2013, EN_DASH, in all but the last example.
43  *
44  * Note, in ICU 4.4 the standard skeletons for which date interval format data
45  * is usually available are as follows; best results will be obtained by using
46  * skeletons from this set, or those formed by combining these standard skeletons
47  * (note that for these skeletons, the length of digit field such as d, y, or
48  * M vs MM is irrelevant (but for non-digit fields such as MMM vs MMMM it is
49  * relevant). Note that a skeleton involving h or H generally explicitly requests
50  * that time style (12- or 24-hour time respectively). For a skeleton that
51  * requests the locale's default time style (h or H), use 'j' instead of h or H.
52  *   h, H, hm, Hm,
53  *   hv, Hv, hmv, Hmv,
54  *   d,
55  *   M, MMM, MMMM,
56  *   Md, MMMd,
57  *   MEd, MMMEd,
58  *   y,
59  *   yM, yMMM, yMMMM,
60  *   yMd, yMMMd,
61  *   yMEd, yMMMEd
62  *
63  * Locales for which ICU 4.4 seems to have a reasonable amount of this data
64  * include:
65  *   af, am, ar, be, bg, bn, ca, cs, da, de (_AT), el, en (_AU,_CA,_GB,_IE,_IN...),
66  *   eo, es (_AR,_CL,_CO,...,_US) et, fa, fi, fo, fr (_BE,_CH,_CA), fur, gsw, he,
