+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Note:</strong>
+ * In ICU 4.0 MessageFormat supports named arguments. If a named argument
+ * is used, all arguments must be named. Names start with a character in
+ * <code>UCHAR_ID_START</code> and continue with characters in
+ * <code>UCHARID_CONTINUE</code>, in particular they do not start with a digit.
+ * If named arguments are used, {@link #usesNamedArguments()} will return true.
+ * <p>
+ * The other new methods supporting named arguments are
+ * {@link #getFormatNames(UErrorCode& status)},
+ * {@link #getFormat(const UnicodeString& formatName, UErrorCode& status)}
+ * {@link #setFormat(const UnicodeString& formatName, const Format& format, UErrorCode& status)},
+ * {@link #adoptFormat(const UnicodeString& formatName, Format* formatToAdopt, UErrorCode& status)},
+ * {@link #format(const Formattable* arguments, const UnicodeString *argumentNames, int32_t cnt, UnicodeString& appendTo, FieldPosition& status, int32_t recursionProtection, UErrorCode& success)},
+ * {@link #format(const UnicodeString* argumentNames, const Formattable* arguments, int32_t count, UnicodeString& appendTo,UErrorCode& status)}.
+ * These methods are all compatible with patterns that do not used named arguments--
+ * in these cases the keys in the input or output use <code>UnicodeString</code>s
+ * that name the argument indices, e.g. "0", "1", "2"... etc.
+ * <p>
+ * When named arguments are used, certain methods on MessageFormat that take or
+ * return arrays do not perform any action, since it is not possible to
+ * identify positions in an array using a name. UErrorCode is set to
+ * U_ARGUMENT_TYPE_MISMATCH if there is a status/success field in the method.
+ * These methods are
+ * {@link #adoptFormats(Format** newFormats, int32_t count)},
+ * {@link #setFormats(const Format** newFormats,int32_t count)},
+ * {@link #adoptFormat(int32_t n, Format *newFormat)},
+ * {@link #getFormats(int32_t& cnt)},
+ * {@link #format(const Formattable* source,int32_t cnt,UnicodeString& appendTo, FieldPosition& ignore, UErrorCode& success)},
+ * {@link #format(const UnicodeString& pattern,const Formattable* arguments,int32_t cnt,UnicodeString& appendTo,UErrorCode& success)},
+ * {@link #format(const Formattable& source, UnicodeString& appendTo,FieldPosition& ignore, UErrorCode& success)},
+ * {@link #format(const Formattable* arguments, int32_t cnt, UnicodeString& appendTo, FieldPosition& status, int32_t recursionProtection,UErrorCode& success)},
+ * {@link #parse(const UnicodeString& source, ParsePosition& pos,int32_t& count)},
+ * {@link #parse(const UnicodeString& source, int32_t& cnt, UErrorCode& status)}
