/**
 * <code>Calendar</code> is an abstract base class for converting between
 * a <code>UDate</code> object and a set of integer fields such as
 * <code>YEAR</code>, <code>MONTH</code>, <code>DAY</code>, <code>HOUR</code>,
 * and so on. (A <code>UDate</code> object represents a specific instant in
 * time with millisecond precision. See UDate
 * for information about the <code>UDate</code> class.)
 *
 * <p>
 * Subclasses of <code>Calendar</code> interpret a <code>UDate</code>
 * according to the rules of a specific calendar system. 
 * The most commonly used subclass of <code>Calendar</code> is
 * <code>GregorianCalendar</code>. Other subclasses could represent
 * the various types of lunar calendars in use in many parts of the world.
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>NOTE</b>: (ICU 2.6) The subclass interface should be considered unstable
 * - it WILL change.  
 *
 * <p>
 * Like other locale-sensitive classes, <code>Calendar</code> provides a
 * static method, <code>createInstance</code>, for getting a generally useful
 * object of this type. <code>Calendar</code>'s <code>createInstance</code> method 
 * returns the appropriate <code>Calendar</code> subclass whose
 * time fields have been initialized with the current date and time:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * Calendar *rightNow = Calendar::createInstance(errCode);
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * A <code>Calendar</code> object can produce all the time field values
 * needed to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language
 * and calendar style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional).
 *
 * <p>
 * When computing a <code>UDate</code> from time fields, two special circumstances
 * may arise: there may be insufficient information to compute the
 * <code>UDate</code> (such as only year and month but no day in the month),
 * or there may be inconsistent information (such as "Tuesday, July 15, 1996"
 * -- July 15, 1996 is actually a Monday).
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Insufficient information.</strong> The calendar will use default
 * information to specify the missing fields. This may vary by calendar; for
 * the Gregorian calendar, the default for a field is the same as that of the
 * start of the epoch: i.e., YEAR = 1970, MONTH = JANUARY, DATE = 1, etc.
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Inconsistent information.</strong> If fields conflict, the calendar
 * will give preference to fields set more recently. For example, when
 * determining the day, the calendar will look for one of the following
 * combinations of fields.  The most recent combination, as determined by the
 * most recently set single field, will be used.
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH
 * MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
 * MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
 * DAY_OF_YEAR
 * DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * For the time of day:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * HOUR_OF_DAY
 * AM_PM + HOUR
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> for some non-Gregorian calendars, different
 * fields may be necessary for complete disambiguation. For example, a full
 * specification of the historial Arabic astronomical calendar requires year,
 * month, day-of-month <em>and</em> day-of-week in some cases.
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> There are certain possible ambiguities in
 * interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the
 * following ways:
 * <ol>
 *     <li> 24:00:00 "belongs" to the following day. That is,
 *          23:59 on Dec 31, 1969 &lt; 24:00 on Jan 1, 1970 &lt; 24:01:00 on Jan 1, 1970
 *
 *     <li> Although historically not precise, midnight also belongs to "am",
 *          and noon belongs to "pm", so on the same day,
 *          12:00 am (midnight) &lt; 12:01 am, and 12:00 pm (noon) &lt; 12:01 pm
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 * The date or time format strings are not part of the definition of a
 * calendar, as those must be modifiable or overridable by the user at
 * runtime. Use {@link DateFormat}
 * to format dates.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>Calendar</code> provides an API for field "rolling", where fields
 * can be incremented or decremented, but wrap around. For example, rolling the
 * month up in the date <code>December 12, <b>1996</b></code> results in
 * <code>January 12, <b>1996</b></code>.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>Calendar</code> also provides a date arithmetic function for
 * adding the specified (signed) amount of time to a particular time field.
 * For example, subtracting 5 days from the date <code>September 12, 1996</code>
 * results in <code>September 7, 1996</code>.
