 * <p>
 * The number of pattern letters influences the format, as follows:
 * </p>
 * 
 * <dl>
 * <dt>Text</dt>
 * <dd>if 4 or more, then use the full form; if less than 4, use short or
 * abbreviated form if it exists (e.g., <code>"EEEE"</code> produces
 * <code>"Monday"</code>, <code>"EEE"</code> produces <code>"Mon"</code>)</dd>
 * 
 * <dt>Number</dt>
 * <dd>the minimum number of digits. Shorter numbers are zero-padded to this
 * amount (e.g. if <code>"m"</code> produces <code>"6"</code>, <code>"mm"</code>
 * produces <code>"06"</code>). Year is handled specially; that is, if the count
 * of 'y' is 2, the Year will be truncated to 2 digits. (e.g., if
 * <code>"yyyy"</code> produces <code>"1997"</code>, <code>"yy"</code> produces
 * <code>"97"</code>.) Unlike other fields, fractional seconds are padded on the
 * right with zero.</dd>
 * 
 * <dt>Text or Number</dt>
 * <dd>3 or more, use text, otherwise use number. (e.g. <code>"M"</code>
 * produces <code>"1"</code>, <code>"MM"</code> produces <code>"01"</code>,
 * <code>"MMM"</code> produces <code>"Jan"</code>, and <code>"MMMM"</code>
 * produces <code>"January"</code>.  Some pattern letters also treat a count
 * of 5 specially, meaning a single-letter abbreviation: <code>L</code>,
 * <code>M</code>, <code>E</code>, and <code>c</code>.</dd>
 * </dl>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Any characters in the pattern that are not in the ranges of ['<code>a</code>
 * '..'<code>z</code>'] and ['<code>A</code>'..'<code>Z</code>'] will be treated
 * as quoted text. For instance, characters like '<code>:</code>', '
 * <code>.</code>', '<code> </code>' (space), '<code>#</code>' and '
 * <code>@</code>' will appear in the resulting time text even they are not
 * embraced within single quotes.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * [Time Zone Handling] Web browsers don't provide all the information we need
 * for proper time zone formating -- so GWT has a copy of the required data, for
 * your convenience. For simpler cases, one can also use a fallback
 * implementation that only keeps track of the current timezone offset. These
 * two approaches are called, respectively, Common TimeZones and Simple
 * TimeZones, although both are implemented with the same TimeZone class.
 * 
 * "TimeZone createTimeZone(String timezoneData)" returns a Common TimeZone
 * object, and "TimeZone createTimeZone(int timeZoneOffsetInMinutes)" returns a
 * Simple TimeZone object. The one provided by OS fall into to Simple TimeZone
 * category. For formatting purpose, following table shows the behavior of GWT
 * DateTimeFormat.
 * </p>
 * <table>
 * <tr>
 * <th>Pattern</th>
 * <th>Common TimeZone</th>
 * <th>Simple TimeZone</th>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>z, zz, zzz</td>
 * <td>PDT</td>
 * <td>UTC-7</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>zzzz</td>
 * <td>Pacific Daylight Time</td>
 * <td>UTC-7</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>Z, ZZ</td>
 * <td>-0700</td>
 * <td>-0700</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>ZZZ</td>
 * <td>-07:00</td>
 * <td>-07:00</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>ZZZZ</td>
 * <td>GMT-07:00</td>
 * <td>GMT-07:00</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td>v, vv, vvv, vvvv</td>
 * <td>America/Los_Angeles</td>
 * <td>Etc/GMT+7</td>
 * </tr>
 * </table>
 * 
 * <h3>Parsing Dates and Times</h3>
 * <p>
 * The pattern does not need to specify every field.  If the year, month, or
 * day is missing from the pattern, the corresponding value will be taken from
 * the current date.  If the month is specified but the day is not, the day will
 * be constrained to the last day within the specified month.  If the hour,
 * minute, or second is missing, the value defaults to zero.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * As with formatting (described above), the count of pattern letters determines
 * the parsing behavior.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <dl>
 * <dt>Text</dt>
 * <dd>4 or more pattern letters--use full form, less than 4--use short or
 * abbreviated form if one exists. In parsing, we will always try long format,
 * then short.</dd>
 * 
 * <dt>Number</dt>
 * <dd>the minimum number of digits.</dd>
 * 
 * <dt>Text or Number</dt>
 * <dd>3 or more characters means use text, otherwise use number</dd>
 * </dl>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Although the current pattern specification doesn't not specify behavior for
 * all letters, it may in the future. It is strongly discouraged to use
 * unspecified letters as literal text without quoting them.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * [Note on TimeZone] The time zone support for parsing is limited. Only
 * standard GMT and RFC format are supported. Time zone specification using time
 * zone id (like America/Los_Angeles), time zone names (like PST, Pacific
 * Standard Time) are not supported. Normally, it is too much a burden for a
 * client application to load all the time zone symbols. And in almost all those
 * cases, it is a better choice to do such parsing on server side through
 * certain RPC mechanism. This decision is based on particular use cases we have
 * studied; in principle, it could be changed in future versions.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <h3>Examples</h3>
 * <table>
 * <tr>
 * <th>Pattern</th>
 * <th>Formatted Text</th>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss vvvv"</code></td>
 * <td><code>1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 America/Los_Angeles</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"EEE, MMM d, ''yy"</code></td>
 * <td><code>Wed, July 10, '96</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"h:mm a"</code></td>
 * <td><code>12:08 PM</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz"</code></td>
 * <td><code> 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"K:mm a, vvvv"</code></td>
 * <td><code> 0:00 PM, America/Los_Angeles</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * 
 * <tr>
 * <td><code>"yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa"</code></td>
 * <td><code>01996.July.10 AD 12:08 PM</code></td>
 * </tr>
 * </table>
 * 
 * <h3>Additional Parsing Considerations</h3>
 * <p>
 * When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern (
 * <code>"yy"</code>), the parser must interpret the abbreviated year relative
 * to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before
 * and 20 years after the time the parser instance is created. For example,
 * using a pattern of <code>"MM/dd/yy"</code> and a <code>DateTimeFormat</code>
 * object created on Jan 1, 1997, the string <code>"01/11/12"</code> would be
 * interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string <code>"05/04/64"</code> would be
 * interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of
 * exactly two digits, as defined by {@link java.lang.Character#isDigit(char)},
 * will be parsed into the default century. If the year pattern does not have
 * exactly two 'y' characters, the year is interpreted literally, regardless of
 * the number of digits. For example, using the pattern
 * <code>"MM/dd/yyyy"</code>, "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * When numeric fields abut one another directly, with no intervening delimiter
 * characters, they constitute a run of abutting numeric fields. Such runs are
 * parsed specially. For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text
 * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to
 * parse "1234". In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible,
 * while the others keep a fixed width. If the parse fails anywhere in the run,
 * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is
 * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the
 * leftmost field is one character in length. If the parse still fails at that
 * point, the parse of the run fails.
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * In the current implementation, timezone parsing only supports
 * <code>GMT:hhmm</code>, <code>GMT:+hhmm</code>, and <code>GMT:-hhmm</code>.
 * </p>
