     * 
     * <p>This setting doesn't influence the formatting of other kind of values (like of
     * {@link java.sql.Timestamp java.sql.Timestamp} or plain {@link java.util.Date java.util.Date} values).
     * 
     * <p>To decide what value you need, a few things has to be understood:
     * <ul>
     *   <li>Date-only and time-only values in SQL-oriented databases are usually store calendar and clock field
     *   values directly (year, month, day, or hour, minute, seconds (with decimals)), as opposed to a set of points
     *   on the physical time line. Thus, unlike SQL timestamps, these values usually aren't meant to be shown
     *   differently depending on the time zone of the audience.
     *   
     *   <li>When a JDBC query has to return a date-only or time-only value, it has to convert it to a point on the
     *   physical time line, because that's what {@link java.util.Date} and its subclasses store (milliseconds since
     *   the epoch). Obviously, this is impossible to do. So JDBC just chooses a physical time which, when rendered
     *   <em>with the JVM default time zone</em>, will give the same field values as those stored
     *   in the database. (Actually, you can give JDBC a calendar, and so it can use other time zones too, but most
     *   application won't care using those overloads.) For example, assume that the system time zone is GMT+02:00.
     *   Then, 2014-07-12 in the database will be translated to physical time 2014-07-11 22:00:00 UTC, because that
     *   rendered in GMT+02:00 gives 2014-07-12 00:00:00. Similarly, 11:57:00 in the database will be translated to
     *   physical time 1970-01-01 09:57:00 UTC. Thus, the physical time stored in the returned value depends on the
     *   default system time zone of the JDBC client, not just on the content in the database. (This used to be the
     *   default behavior of ORM-s, like Hibernate, too.)
     *   
     *   <li>The value of the {@code time_zone} FreeMarker configuration setting sets the time zone used for the
     *   template output. For example, when a web page visitor has a preferred time zone, the web application framework
     *   may calls {@link Environment#setTimeZone(TimeZone)} with that time zone. Thus, the visitor will
     *   see {@link java.sql.Timestamp java.sql.Timestamp} and plain {@link java.util.Date java.util.Date} values as
     *   they look in his own time zone. While
     *   this is desirable for those types, as they meant to represent physical points on the time line, this is not
     *   necessarily desirable for date-only and time-only values. When {@code sql_date_and_time_time_zone} is
     *   {@code null}, {@code time_zone} is used for rendering all kind of date/time/dateTime values, including
     *   {@link java.sql.Date java.sql.Date} and {@link java.sql.Time java.sql.Time}, and then if, for example,
     *   {@code time_zone} is GMT+00:00, the
     *   values from the earlier examples will be shown as 2014-07-11 (one day off) and 09:57:00 (2 hours off). While
     *   those are the time zone correct renderings, those values probably was meant to shown "as is".
     *   
     *   <li>You may wonder why this setting isn't simply "SQL time zone", since the time zone related behavior of JDBC
     *   applies to {@link java.sql.Timestamp java.sql.Timestamp} too. FreeMarker assumes that you have set up your
     *   application so that time stamps coming from the database go through the necessary conversion to store the
     *   correct distance from the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), as requested by {@link java.util.Date}. In that case
     *   the time stamp can be safely rendered in different time zones, and thus it needs no special treatment.

     *   
     *   <li><p>{@code "xs"} for XML Schema format, or {@code "iso"} for ISO 8601:2004 format.
     *       These formats allow various additional options, separated with space, like in
     *       {@code "iso m nz"} (or with {@code _}, like in {@code "iso_m_nz"}; this is useful in a case like
     *       {@code lastModified?string.iso_m_nz}). The options and their meanings are:
     *       
     *       <ul>
     *         <li><p>Accuracy options:<br>
     *             {@code ms} = Milliseconds, always shown with all 3 digits, even if it's all 0-s.
     *                     Example: {@code 13:45:05.800}<br>
     *             {@code s} = Seconds (fraction seconds are dropped even if non-0), like {@code 13:45:05}<br>
     *             {@code m} = Minutes, like {@code 13:45}. This isn't allowed for "xs".<br>
     *             {@code h} = Hours, like {@code 13}. This isn't allowed for "xs".<br>
     *             Neither = Up to millisecond accuracy, but trailing millisecond 0-s are removed, also the whole
     *                     milliseconds part if it would be 0 otherwise. Example: {@code 13:45:05.8}
     *                     
     *         <li><p>Time zone offset visibility options:<br>
     *             {@code fz} = "Force Zone", always show time zone offset (even for for
     *                     {@link java.sql.Date java.sql.Date} and {@link java.sql.Time java.sql.Time} values).
     *                     But, because ISO 8601 doesn't allow for dates (means date without time of the day) to
     *                     show the zone offset, this option will have no effect in the case of {@code "iso"} with
     *                     dates.<br>
     *             {@code nz} = "No Zone", never show time zone offset<br>
     *             Neither = always show time zone offset, except for {@link java.sql.Date java.sql.Date}
     *                     and {@link java.sql.Time java.sql.Time}, and for {@code "iso"} date values.
     *                     
     *         <li><p>Time zone options:<br>
     *             {@code u} = Use UTC instead of what the {@code time_zone} setting suggests. However,
     *                     {@link java.sql.Date java.sql.Date} and {@link java.sql.Time java.sql.Time} aren't affected
     *                     by this (see {@link #setSQLDateAndTimeTimeZone(TimeZone)} to understand why)<br>
     *             {@code fu} = "Force UTC", that is, use UTC instead of what the {@code time_zone} or the
     *                     {@code sql_date_and_time_time_zone} setting suggests. This also effects
     *                     {@link java.sql.Date java.sql.Date} and {@link java.sql.Time java.sql.Time} values<br>
     *             Neither = Use the time zone suggested by the {@code time_zone} or the
     *                     {@code sql_date_and_time_time_zone} configuration setting ({@link #setTimeZone(TimeZone)} and
     *                     {@link #setSQLDateAndTimeTimeZone(TimeZone)}).
     *       </ul>
     *       
     *       <p>The options can be specified in any order.</p>
     *       
     *       <p>Options from the same category are mutually exclusive, like using {@code m} and {@code s}
     *       together is an error.
     *       
     *       <p>The accuracy and time zone offset visibility options don't influence parsing, only formatting.
     *       For example, even if you use "iso m nz", "2012-01-01T15:30:05.125+01" will be parsed successfully and with
     *       milliseconds accuracy.
     *       The time zone options (like "u") influence what time zone is chosen only when parsing a string that doesn't
     *       contain time zone offset.
     *       
     *       <p>Parsing with {@code "iso"} understands both extend format and basic format, like
     *       {@code 20141225T235018}. It doesn't, however, support the parsing of all kind of ISO 8601 strings: if
     *       there's a date part, it must use year, month and day of the month values (not week of the year), and the
     *       day can't be omitted.
     *       
     *       <p>The output of {@code "iso"} is deliberately so that it's also a good representation of the value with
     *       XML Schema format, except for 0 and negative years, where it's impossible. Also note that the time zone
     *       offset is omitted for date values in the {@code "iso"} format, while it's preserved for the {@code "xs"}
     *       format.
     *       
     *   <li><p>{@code "short"}, {@code "medium"}, {@code "long"}, or {@code "full"}, which that has locale-dependent
     *       meaning defined by the Java platform (see in the documentation of {@link java.text.DateFormat}).
     *       For date-time values, you can specify the length of the date and time part independently, be separating
     *       them with {@code _}, like {@code "short_medium"}. ({@code "medium"} means
     *       {@code "medium_medium"} for date-time values.)
     *       
     *   <li><p>Anything that starts with {@code "@"} followed by a letter is interpreted as a custom
     *       date/time/dateTime format, but only if either {@link Configuration#getIncompatibleImprovements()}
     *       is at least 2.3.24, or there's any custom formats defined (even if custom number format). The format of
     *       such string is <code>"@<i>name</i>"</code> or <code>"@<i>name</i> <i>parameters</i>"</code>, where

     * <p><a name="fm_obe"></a>Regarding <em>object builder expressions</em> (used by the setting values where it was
     * indicated):
     * <ul>
     *   <li><p>Before FreeMarker 2.3.21 it had to be a fully qualified class name, and nothing else.</li>
     *   <li><p>Since 2.3.21, the generic syntax is:
     *       <tt><i>className</i>(<i>constrArg1</i>, <i>constrArg2</i>, ... <i>constrArgN</i>,
     *       <i>propName1</i>=<i>propValue1</i>, <i>propName2</i>=<i>propValue2</i>, ...
     *       <i>propNameN</i>=<i>propValueN</i>)</tt>,
     *       where
     *       <tt><i>className</i></tt> is the fully qualified class name of the instance to create (except if we have
     *       builder class or <tt>INSTANCE</tt> field around, but see that later),
     *       <tt><i>constrArg</i></tt>-s are the values of constructor arguments,
     *       and <tt><i>propName</i>=<i>propValue</i></tt>-s set JavaBean properties (like <tt>x=1</tt> means
     *       <tt>setX(1)</tt>) on the created instance. You can have any number of constructor arguments and property
     *       setters, including 0. Constructor arguments must precede any property setters.   
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *     Example: <tt>com.example.MyObjectWrapper(1, 2, exposeFields=true, cacheSize=5000)</tt> is nearly
     *     equivalent with this Java code:
     *     <tt>obj = new com.example.MyObjectWrapper(1, 2); obj.setExposeFields(true); obj.setCacheSize(5000);</tt>
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *      <p>If you have no constructor arguments and property setters, and the <tt><i>className</i></tt> class has
     *      a public static {@code INSTANCE} field, the value of that filed will be the value of the expression, and
     *      the constructor won't be called. Note that if you use the backward compatible
     *      syntax, where these's no parenthesis after the class name, then it will not look for {@code INSTANCE}.
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *      <p>If there exists a class named <tt><i>className</i>Builder</tt>, then that class will be instantiated
     *      instead with the given constructor arguments, and the JavaBean properties of that builder instance will be
     *      set. After that, the public <tt>build()</tt> method of the instance will be called, whose return value
     *      will be the value of the whole expression. (The builder class and the <tt>build()</tt> method is simply
     *      found by name, there's no special interface to implement.) Note that if you use the backward compatible
     *      syntax, where these's no parenthesis after the class name, then it will not look for builder class. Note
     *      that if you have a builder class, you don't actually need a <tt><i>className</i></tt> class (since 2.3.24);
     *      after all, <tt><i>className</i>Builder.build()</tt> can return any kind of object. 
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *      <p>Currently, the values of arguments and properties can only be one of these:
     *      <ul>
     *        <li>A numerical literal, like {@code 123} or {@code -1.5}. The value will be automatically converted to
     *        the type of the target (just like in FTL). However, a target type is only available if the number will
     *        be a parameter to a method or constructor, not when it's a value (or key) in a {@code List} or
     *        {@code Map} literal. Thus in the last case the type of number will be like in Java language, like
     *        {@code 1} is an {@code int}, and {@code 1.0} is a {@code double}, and {@code 1.0f} is a {@code float},
     *        etc. In all cases, the standard Java type postfixes can be used ("f", "d", "l"), plus "bd" for
     *        {@code BigDecimal} and "bi" for {@code BigInteger}.</li>
     *        <li>A boolean literal: {@code true} or {@code false}
     *        <li>The null literal: {@code null}
     *        <li>A string literal with FTL syntax, except that  it can't contain <tt>${...}</tt>-s and
     *            <tt>#{...}</tt>-s. Examples: {@code "Line 1\nLine 2"} or {@code r"C:\temp"}.
     *        <li>A list literal (since 2.3.24) with FTL-like syntax, for example {@code [ 'foo', 2, true ]}.
     *            If the parameter is expected to be array, the list will be automatically converted to array.
     *            The list items can be any kind of expression, like even object builder expressions.
     *        <li>A map literal (since 2.3.24) with FTL-like syntax, for example <code>{ 'foo': 2, 'bar': true }</code>.
     *            The keys and values can be any kind of expression, like even object builder expressions.
     *            The resulting Java object will be a {@link Map} that keeps the item order ({@link LinkedHashMap} as
     *            of this writing).
     *        <li>A reference to a public static filed, like {@code Configuration.AUTO_DETECT_TAG_SYNTAX} or
     *            {@code com.example.MyClass.MY_CONSTANT}.
     *        <li>An object builder expression. That is, object builder expressions can be nested into each other. 
     *      </ul>
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *     The same kind of expression as for parameters can also be used as top-level expressions (though it's
     *     rarely useful, apart from using {@code null}).
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *     <p>The top-level object builder expressions may omit {@code ()}. In that case, for backward compatibility,
     *     the {@code INSTANCE} field and the builder class is not searched, so the instance will be always
     *     created with its parameterless constructor. (This behavior will possibly change in 2.4.) The {@code ()}
     *     can't be omitted for nested expressions.
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *     <p>The following classes can be referred to with simple (unqualified) name instead of fully qualified name:
     *     {@link DefaultObjectWrapper}, {@link BeansWrapper}, {@link SimpleObjectWrapper}, {@link Locale},
     *     {@link TemplateConfiguration}, {@link PathGlobMatcher}, {@link FileNameGlobMatcher}, {@link PathRegexMatcher},

     *     {@link UndefinedOutputFormat}, {@link Configuration}.
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
     *     <p>{@link TimeZone} objects can be created like {@code TimeZone("UTC")}, despite that there's no a such
     *     constructor (since 2.3.24).
     *   </li>
     *   <li>
