/**
 * DataFormatter contains methods for formatting the value stored in an
 * Cell. This can be useful for reports and GUI presentations when you
 * need to display data exactly as it appears in Excel. Supported formats
 * include currency, SSN, percentages, decimals, dates, phone numbers, zip
 * codes, etc.
 * <p>
 * Internally, formats will be implemented using subclasses of {@link Format}
 * such as {@link DecimalFormat} and {@link java.text.SimpleDateFormat}. Therefore the
 * formats used by this class must obey the same pattern rules as these Format
 * subclasses. This means that only legal number pattern characters ("0", "#",
 * ".", "," etc.) may appear in number formats. Other characters can be
 * inserted <em>before</em> or <em> after</em> the number pattern to form a
 * prefix or suffix.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For example the Excel pattern <code>"$#,##0.00 "USD"_);($#,##0.00 "USD")"
 * </code> will be correctly formatted as "$1,000.00 USD" or "($1,000.00 USD)".
 * However the pattern <code>"00-00-00"</code> is incorrectly formatted by
 * DecimalFormat as "000000--". For Excel formats that are not compatible with
 * DecimalFormat, you can provide your own custom {@link Format} implementation
 * via <code>DataFormatter.addFormat(String,Format)</code>. The following
 * custom formats are already provided by this class:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * <ul><li>SSN "000-00-0000"</li>
 *     <li>Phone Number "(###) ###-####"</li>
 *     <li>Zip plus 4 "00000-0000"</li>
 * </ul>
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * If the Excel format pattern cannot be parsed successfully, then a default
 * format will be used. The default number format will mimic the Excel General
 * format: "#" for whole numbers and "#.##########" for decimal numbers. You
 * can override the default format pattern with <code>
 * DataFormatter.setDefaultNumberFormat(Format)</code>. <b>Note:</b> the
 * default format will only be used when a Format cannot be created from the
 * cell's data format string.
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that by default formatted numeric values are trimmed.
 * Excel formats can contain spacers and padding and the default behavior is to strip them off.
 * </p>
 * <p>Example:</p>
 * <p>
 * Consider a numeric cell with a value <code>12.343</code> and format <code>"##.##_ "</code>.
 *  The trailing underscore and space ("_ ") in the format adds a space to the end and Excel formats this cell as <code>"12.34 "</code>,
 *  but <code>DataFormatter</code> trims the formatted value and returns <code>"12.34"</code>.
 * </p>
 * You can enable spaces by passing the <code>emulateCSV=true</code> flag in the <code>DateFormatter</code> cosntructor.
 * If set to true, then the output tries to conform to what you get when you take an xls or xlsx in Excel and Save As CSV file:
 * <ul>
 *  <li>returned values are not trimmed</li>
 *  <li>Invalid dates are formatted as  255 pound signs ("#")</li>
 *  <li>simulate Excel's handling of a format string of all # when the value is 0.
 *   Excel will output "", <code>DataFormatter</code> will output "0".
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 *  Some formats are automatically "localized" by Excel, eg show as mm/dd/yyyy when
 *   loaded in Excel in some Locales but as dd/mm/yyyy in others. These are always
 *   returned in the "default" (US) format, as stored in the file. 
 *  Some format strings request an alternate locale, eg 
 *   <code>[$-809]d/m/yy h:mm AM/PM</code> which explicitly requests UK locale.
 *   These locale directives are (currently) ignored.
 *  You can use {@link DateFormatConverter} to do some of this localisation if
 *   you need it.
