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