/**
 * Parses and represents ICU MessageFormat patterns.
 * Also handles patterns for ChoiceFormat, PluralFormat and SelectFormat.
 * Used in the implementations of those classes as well as in tools
 * for message validation, translation and format conversion.
 * <p>
 * The parser handles all syntax relevant for identifying message arguments.
 * This includes "complex" arguments whose style strings contain
 * nested MessageFormat pattern substrings.
 * For "simple" arguments (with no nested MessageFormat pattern substrings),
 * the argument style is not parsed any further.
 * <p>
 * The parser handles named and numbered message arguments and allows both in one message.
 * <p>
 * Once a pattern has been parsed successfully, iterate through the parsed data
 * with countParts(), getPart() and related methods.
 * <p>
 * The data logically represents a parse tree, but is stored and accessed
 * as a list of "parts" for fast and simple parsing and to minimize object allocations.
 * Arguments and nested messages are best handled via recursion.
 * For every _START "part", MessagePattern.getLimitPartIndex() efficiently returns
 * the index of the corresponding _LIMIT "part".
 * <p>
 * List of "parts":
 * <pre>
 * message = MSG_START (SKIP_SYNTAX | INSERT_CHAR | REPLACE_NUMBER | argument)* MSG_LIMIT
 * argument = noneArg | simpleArg | complexArg
 * complexArg = choiceArg | pluralArg | selectArg
 *
 * noneArg = ARG_START.NONE (ARG_NAME | ARG_NUMBER) ARG_LIMIT.NONE
 * simpleArg = ARG_START.SIMPLE (ARG_NAME | ARG_NUMBER) ARG_TYPE [ARG_STYLE] ARG_LIMIT.SIMPLE
 * choiceArg = ARG_START.CHOICE (ARG_NAME | ARG_NUMBER) choiceStyle ARG_LIMIT.CHOICE
 * pluralArg = ARG_START.PLURAL (ARG_NAME | ARG_NUMBER) pluralStyle ARG_LIMIT.PLURAL
 * selectArg = ARG_START.SELECT (ARG_NAME | ARG_NUMBER) selectStyle ARG_LIMIT.SELECT
 *
 * choiceStyle = ((ARG_INT | ARG_DOUBLE) ARG_SELECTOR message)+
 * pluralStyle = [ARG_INT | ARG_DOUBLE] (ARG_SELECTOR [ARG_INT | ARG_DOUBLE] message)+
 * selectStyle = (ARG_SELECTOR message)+
 * </pre>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Literal output text is not represented directly by "parts" but accessed
 *       between parts of a message, from one part's getLimit() to the next part's getIndex().
 *   <li><code>ARG_START.CHOICE</code> stands for an ARG_START Part with ArgType CHOICE.
 *   <li>In the choiceStyle, the ARG_SELECTOR has the '<', the '#' or
 *       the less-than-or-equal-to sign (U+2264).
 *   <li>In the pluralStyle, the first, optional numeric Part has the "offset:" value.
 *       The optional numeric Part between each (ARG_SELECTOR, message) pair
 *       is the value of an explicit-number selector like "=2",
 *       otherwise the selector is a non-numeric identifier.
 *   <li>The REPLACE_NUMBER Part can occur only in an immediate sub-message of the pluralStyle.
