+class MessageFormat;
+
+/**
+ * <p><code>SelectFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
+ * messages by selecting phrases based on keywords. The pattern specifies
+ * how to map keywords to phrases and provides a default phrase. The
+ * object provided to the format method is a string that's matched
+ * against the keywords. If there is a match, the corresponding phrase
+ * is selected; otherwise, the default phrase is used.</p>
+ *
+ * <h4>Using <code>SelectFormat</code> for Gender Agreement</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>Note: Typically, select formatting is done via <code>MessageFormat</code>
+ * with a <code>select</code> argument type,
+ * rather than using a stand-alone <code>SelectFormat</code>.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The main use case for the select format is gender based inflection.
+ * When names or nouns are inserted into sentences, their gender can affect pronouns,
+ * verb forms, articles, and adjectives. Special care needs to be
+ * taken for the case where the gender cannot be determined.
+ * The impact varies between languages:</p>
+ * \htmlonly
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>English has three genders, and unknown gender is handled as a special
+ * case. Names use the gender of the named person (if known), nouns referring
+ * to people use natural gender, and inanimate objects are usually neutral.
+ * The gender only affects pronouns: "he", "she", "it", "they".
+ *
+ * <li>German differs from English in that the gender of nouns is rather
+ * arbitrary, even for nouns referring to people ("M&#x00E4;dchen", girl, is neutral).
+ * The gender affects pronouns ("er", "sie", "es"), articles ("der", "die",
+ * "das"), and adjective forms ("guter Mann", "gute Frau", "gutes M&#x00E4;dchen").
+ *
+ * <li>French has only two genders; as in German the gender of nouns
+ * is rather arbitrary - for sun and moon, the genders
+ * are the opposite of those in German. The gender affects
+ * pronouns ("il", "elle"), articles ("le", "la"),
+ * adjective forms ("bon", "bonne"), and sometimes
+ * verb forms ("all&#x00E9;", "all&#x00E9;e").
+ *
+ * <li>Polish distinguishes five genders (or noun classes),
+ * human masculine, animate non-human masculine, inanimate masculine,
+ * feminine, and neuter.
+ * </ul>
+ * \endhtmlonly
+ * <p>Some other languages have noun classes that are not related to gender,
+ * but similar in grammatical use.
+ * Some African languages have around 20 noun classes.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Note:</b>For the gender of a <i>person</i> in a given sentence,
+ * we usually need to distinguish only between female, male and other/unknown.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>To enable localizers to create sentence patterns that take their
+ * language's gender dependencies into consideration, software has to provide
+ * information about the gender associated with a noun or name to
+ * <code>MessageFormat</code>.
+ * Two main cases can be distinguished:</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>For people, natural gender information should be maintained for each person.
+ * Keywords like "male", "female", "mixed" (for groups of people)
+ * and "unknown" could be used.
+ *
+ * <li>For nouns, grammatical gender information should be maintained for
+ * each noun and per language, e.g., in resource bundles.
+ * The keywords "masculine", "feminine", and "neuter" are commonly used,
+ * but some languages may require other keywords.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>The resulting keyword is provided to <code>MessageFormat</code> as a
+ * parameter separate from the name or noun it's associated with. For example,
+ * to generate a message such as "Jean went to Paris", three separate arguments
+ * would be provided: The name of the person as argument 0, the gender of
+ * the person as argument 1, and the name of the city as argument 2.
+ * The sentence pattern for English, where the gender of the person has
+ * no impact on this simple sentence, would not refer to argument 1 at all:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>{0} went to {2}.</pre>
+ *
+ * <p><b>Note:</b> The entire sentence should be included (and partially repeated)
+ * inside each phrase. Otherwise translators would have to be trained on how to
+ * move bits of the sentence in and out of the select argument of a message.
+ * (The examples below do not follow this recommendation!)</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The sentence pattern for French, where the gender of the person affects
+ * the form of the participle, uses a select format based on argument 1:</p>
+ *
+ * \htmlonly<pre>{0} est {1, select, female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E9;}} &#x00E0; {2}.</pre>\endhtmlonly
+ *
+ * <p>Patterns can be nested, so that it's possible to handle interactions of
+ * number and gender where necessary. For example, if the above sentence should
+ * allow for the names of several people to be inserted, the following sentence
+ * pattern can be used (with argument 0 the list of people's names,
+ * argument 1 the number of people, argument 2 their combined gender, and
+ * argument 3 the city name):</p>
+ *
+ * \htmlonly
+ * <pre>{0} {1, plural,
+ * one {est {2, select, female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E9;}}}
+ * other {sont {2, select, female {all&#x00E9;es} other {all&#x00E9;s}}}
+ * }&#x00E0; {3}.</pre>
+ * \endhtmlonly
+ *
+ * <h4>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h4>
+ *
+ * <p>The <code>SelectFormat</code> pattern string defines the phrase output
+ * for each user-defined keyword.
+ * The pattern is a sequence of (keyword, message) pairs.
+ * A keyword is a "pattern identifier": [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Each message is a MessageFormat pattern string enclosed in {curly braces}.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>You always have to define a phrase for the default keyword
+ * <code>other</code>; this phrase is returned when the keyword
+ * provided to
+ * the <code>format</code> method matches no other keyword.
+ * If a pattern does not provide a phrase for <code>other</code>, the method
+ * it's provided to returns the error <code>U_DEFAULT_KEYWORD_MISSING</code>.
+ * <br>
+ * Pattern_White_Space between keywords and messages is ignored.
+ * Pattern_White_Space within a message is preserved and output.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><pre>Example:
+ * \htmlonly
+ *
+ * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ * MessageFormat *msgFmt = new MessageFormat(UnicodeString("{0} est {1, select, female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E9;}} &#x00E0; Paris."), Locale("fr"), status);
+ * if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
+ * return;
+ * }
+ * FieldPosition ignore(FieldPosition::DONT_CARE);
+ * UnicodeString result;
+ *
+ * char* str1= "Kirti,female";
+ * Formattable args1[] = {"Kirti","female"};
+ * msgFmt->format(args1, 2, result, ignore, status);
+ * cout << "Input is " << str1 << " and result is: " << result << endl;
+ * delete msgFmt;
+ *
+ * \endhtmlonly
+ * </pre>
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * Produces the output:<br>
+ * \htmlonly
+ * <code>Kirti est all&#x00E9;e &#x00E0; Paris.</code>
+ * \endhtmlonly
