/**
 * \file
 * \brief C API: Wrapper for icu::DateTimePatternGenerator (unicode/dtptngen.h).
 *
 * UDateTimePatternGenerator provides flexible generation of date format patterns, 
 * like "yy-MM-dd". The user can build up the generator by adding successive 
 * patterns. Once that is done, a query can be made using a "skeleton", which is 
 * a pattern which just includes the desired fields and lengths. The generator 
 * will return the "best fit" pattern corresponding to that skeleton.
 * <p>The main method people will use is udatpg_getBestPattern, since normally
 * UDateTimePatternGenerator is pre-built with data from a particular locale. 
 * However, generators can be built directly from other data as well.
 * <p><i>Issue: may be useful to also have a function that returns the list of 
 * fields in a pattern, in order, since we have that internally.
 * That would be useful for getting the UI order of field elements.</i>
