/**
 * @fileoverview Message/plural format library with locale support.
 *
 * Message format grammar:
 *
 * messageFormatPattern := string ( "{" messageFormatElement "}" string )*
 * messageFormatElement := argumentIndex [ "," elementFormat ]
 * elementFormat := "plural" "," pluralStyle
 *                  | "selectordinal" "," ordinalStyle
 *                  | "select" "," selectStyle
 * pluralStyle :=  pluralFormatPattern
 * ordinalStyle :=  selectFormatPattern
 * selectStyle :=  selectFormatPattern
 * pluralFormatPattern := [ "offset" ":" offsetIndex ] pluralForms*
 * selectFormatPattern := pluralForms*
 * pluralForms := stringKey "{" ( "{" messageFormatElement "}"|string )* "}"
 *
 * This is a subset of the ICU MessageFormatSyntax:
 *   http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages
 * See also http://go/plurals and http://go/ordinals for internal details.
 *
 *
 * Message example:
 *
 * I see {NUM_PEOPLE, plural, offset:1
 *         =0 {no one at all}
 *         =1 {{WHO}}
 *         one {{WHO} and one other person}
 *         other {{WHO} and # other people}}
 * in {PLACE}.
 *
 * Calling format({'NUM_PEOPLE': 2, 'WHO': 'Mark', 'PLACE': 'Athens'}) would
 * produce "I see Mark and one other person in Athens." as output.
 *
 * OR:
 *
 * {NUM_FLOOR, selectordinal,
 *   one {Take the elevator to the #st floor.}
 *   two {Take the elevator to the #nd floor.}
 *   few {Take the elevator to the #rd floor.}
 *   other {Take the elevator to the #th floor.}}
 *
 * Calling format({'NUM_FLOOR': 22}) would produce
 * "Take the elevator to the 22nd floor".
 *
 * See messageformat_test.html for more examples.
