 <div class="block">Parses and formats <a href="Range.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.measure"><code>Range</code></a> instances according the given locale.
  This class complies to the format described in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-11">ISO 31-11</a>
  standard, except that the minimal and maximal values are separated by the "<code>…</code>" character
  instead than coma. More specifically, the format is defined as below:

  <ul>
    <li>If the range <a href="Range.html#isEmpty()">is empty</a>, then the range is represented by "<code>{}</code>".</li>
    <li>Otherwise if the <a href="Range.html#getMinValue()">minimal value</a> is equals to the
        <a href="Range.html#getMaxValue()">maximal value</a>, then that single value is formatted
        inside braces as in "<code>{value}</code>".</li>
    <li>Otherwise the minimal and maximal values are formatted inside bracket or parenthesis,
        depending on whether each endpoint is inclusive or exclusive:
      <ul>
        <li>"<code>[min … max]</code>" if both endpoints are inclusive (<cite>closed interval</cite>);</li>
        <li>"<code>(min … max)</code>" if both endpoints are exclusive (<cite>open interval</cite>);</li>
        <li>or a mix of both styles if an endpoint is inclusive while the other is exclusive.</li>
      </ul>
      The "<code>∞</code>" symbol is used in place of <code>min</code> or <code>max</code> for unbounded ranges.</li>
  </ul>

  If the range to format is an instance of <a href="MeasurementRange.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.measure"><code>MeasurementRange</code></a>, then the
  <a href="http://unitsofmeasurement.github.io/unit-api/site/apidocs/javax/measure/Unit.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in javax.measure" class="externalLink">unit of measurement</a> is appended except for empty ranges.

  <div class="section">Lenient parsing</div>
  At parsing time, the above formatting rules are relaxed as below:

  <ul>
    <li>Empty ranges can be represented by "<code>[]</code>"or "<code>()</code>" in addition to the
        standard "<code>{}</code>".</li>
    <li>The braces are optional for singleton values, i.e. "<code>value</code>" is accepted
        as well as "<code>{value}</code>".</li>
  </ul>

  <div class="section">Range type and type of range elements</div>
  The kind of ranges created by the <a href="#parse(java.lang.String)"><code>parse(…)</code></a> methods is determined
  by the type of range elements:

  <ul>
    <li>If the elements type is assignable to <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.util" class="externalLink"><code>Date</code></a>, then the <code>parse(…)</code> methods
        will create <code>Range&lt;Date&gt;</code> objects.</li>
    <li>If the elements type is assignable to <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>Number</code></a>, then:
      <ul>
        <li>If the text to parse contains a <a href="http://unitsofmeasurement.github.io/unit-api/site/apidocs/javax/measure/Unit.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in javax.measure" class="externalLink">unit of measurement</a>, then
            the <code>parse(…)</code> methods will create <a href="MeasurementRange.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.measure"><code>MeasurementRange</code></a> objects.</li>
        <li>Otherwise the <code>parse(…)</code> methods will create <a href="NumberRange.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.measure"><code>NumberRange</code></a> objects.</li>
