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