+/**
+ * PrintfFormat allows the formatting of an array of
+ * objects embedded within a string.  Primitive types
+ * must be passed using wrapper types.  The formatting
+ * is controlled by a control string.
+ *<p>
+ * A control string is a Java string that contains a
+ * control specification.  The control specification
+ * starts at the first percent sign (%) in the string,
+ * provided that this percent sign
+ *<ol>
+ *<li>is not escaped protected by a matching % or is
+ * not an escape % character,
+ *<li>is not at the end of the format string, and
+ *<li>precedes a sequence of characters that parses as
+ * a valid control specification.
+ *</ol>
+ *</p><p>
+ * A control specification usually takes the form:
+ *<pre> % ['-+ #0]* [0..9]* { . [0..9]* }+
+ *                { [hlL] }+ [idfgGoxXeEcs]
+ *</pre>
+ * There are variants of this basic form that are
+ * discussed below.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * The format is composed of zero or more directives
+ * defined as follows:
+ *<ul>
+ *<li>ordinary characters, which are simply copied to
+ * the output stream;
+ *<li>escape sequences, which represent non-graphic
+ * characters; and
+ *<li>conversion specifications,  each of which
+ * results in the fetching of zero or more arguments.
+ *</ul></p>
+ *<p>
+ * The results are undefined if there are insufficient
+ * arguments for the format.  Usually an unchecked
+ * exception will be thrown.  If the format is
+ * exhausted while arguments remain, the excess
+ * arguments are evaluated but are otherwise ignored.
+ * In format strings containing the % form of
+ * conversion specifications, each argument in the
+ * argument list is used exactly once.</p>
+ * <p>
+ * Conversions can be applied to the <code>n</code>th
+ * argument after the format in the argument list,
+ * rather than to the next unused argument.  In this
+ * case, the conversion characer % is replaced by the
+ * sequence %<code>n</code>$, where <code>n</code> is
+ * a decimal integer giving the position of the
+ * argument in the argument list.</p>
+ * <p>
+ * In format strings containing the %<code>n</code>$
+ * form of conversion specifications, each argument
+ * in the argument list is used exactly once.</p>
+ *
+ *<h4>Escape Sequences</h4>
+ *<p>
+ * The following table lists escape sequences and
+ * associated actions on display devices capable of
+ * the action.
+ *<table>
+ *<tr><th align=left>Sequence</th>
+ *    <th align=left>Name</th>
+ *    <th align=left>Description</th></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\\</td><td>backlash</td><td>None.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\a</td><td>alert</td><td>Attempts to alert
+ *          the user through audible or visible
+ *          notification.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\b</td><td>backspace</td><td>Moves the
+ *          printing position to one column before
+ *          the current position, unless the
+ *          current position is the start of a line.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\f</td><td>form-feed</td><td>Moves the
+ *          printing position to the initial 
+ *          printing position of the next logical
+ *          page.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\n</td><td>newline</td><td>Moves the
+ *          printing position to the start of the
+ *          next line.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\r</td><td>carriage-return</td><td>Moves
+ *          the printing position to the start of
+ *          the current line.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\t</td><td>tab</td><td>Moves the printing
+ *          position to the next implementation-
+ *          defined horizontal tab position.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *<tr><td>\v</td><td>vertical-tab</td><td>Moves the
+ *          printing position to the start of the
+ *          next implementation-defined vertical
+ *          tab position.
+ *</td></tr>
+ *</table></p>
+ *<h4>Conversion Specifications</h4>
+ *<p>
+ * Each conversion specification is introduced by
+ * the percent sign character (%).  After the character
+ * %, the following appear in sequence:</p>
+ *<p>
+ * Zero or more flags (in any order), which modify the
+ * meaning of the conversion specification.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * An optional minimum field width.  If the converted
+ * value has fewer characters than the field width, it
+ * will be padded with spaces by default on the left;
+ * t will be padded on the right, if the left-
+ * adjustment flag (-), described below, is given to
+ * the field width.  The field width takes the form
+ * of a decimal integer.  If the conversion character
+ * is s, the field width is the the minimum number of
+ * characters to be printed.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * An optional precision that gives the minumum number
+ * of digits to appear for the d, i, o, x or X
+ * conversions (the field is padded with leading
+ * zeros); the number of digits to appear after the
+ * radix character for the e, E, and f conversions,
+ * the maximum number of significant digits for the g
+ * and G conversions; or the maximum number of
+ * characters to be written from a string is s and S
+ * conversions.  The precision takes the form of an
+ * optional decimal digit string, where a null digit
+ * string is treated as 0.  If a precision appears
+ * with a c conversion character the precision is
+ * ignored.
+ * </p>
+ *<p>
+ * An optional h specifies that a following d, i, o,
+ * x, or X conversion character applies to a type 
+ * short argument (the argument will be promoted
+ * according to the integral promotions and its value
+ * converted to type short before printing).</p>
+ *<p>
+ * An optional l (ell) specifies that a following
+ * d, i, o, x, or X conversion character applies to a
+ * type long argument.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * A field width or precision may be indicated by an
+ * asterisk (*) instead of a digit string.  In this
+ * case, an integer argument supplised the field width
+ * precision.  The argument that is actually converted
+ * is not fetched until the conversion letter is seen,
+ * so the the arguments specifying field width or
+ * precision must appear before the argument (if any)
+ * to be converted.  If the precision argument is
+ * negative, it will be changed to zero.  A negative
+ * field width argument is taken as a - flag, followed
+ * by a positive field width.</p>
+ * <p>
+ * In format strings containing the %<code>n</code>$
+ * form of a conversion specification, a field width
+ * or precision may be indicated by the sequence
+ * *<code>m</code>$, where m is a decimal integer
+ * giving the position in the argument list (after the
+ * format argument) of an integer argument containing
+ * the field width or precision.</p>
+ * <p>
+ * The format can contain either numbered argument
+ * specifications (that is, %<code>n</code>$ and
+ * *<code>m</code>$), or unnumbered argument
+ * specifications (that is % and *), but normally not
+ * both.  The only exception to this is that %% can
+ * be mixed with the %<code>n</code>$ form.  The
+ * results of mixing numbered and unnumbered argument
+ * specifications in a format string are undefined.</p>
+ *
+ *<h4>Flag Characters</h4>
+ *<p>
+ * The flags and their meanings are:</p>
+ *<dl>
+ * <dt>'<dd> integer portion of the result of a
+ *      decimal conversion (%i, %d, %f, %g, or %G) will
+ *      be formatted with thousands' grouping
+ *      characters.  For other conversions the flag
+ *      is ignored.  The non-monetary grouping
+ *      character is used.
+ * <dt>-<dd> result of the conversion is left-justified
+ *      within the field.  (It will be right-justified
+ *      if this flag is not specified).</td></tr>
+ * <dt>+<dd> result of a signed conversion always
+ *      begins with a sign (+ or -).  (It will begin
+ *      with a sign only when a negative value is
+ *      converted if this flag is not specified.)
+ * <dt>&lt;space&gt;<dd> If the first character of a
+ *      signed conversion is not a sign, a space
+ *      character will be placed before the result.
+ *      This means that if the space character and +
+ *      flags both appear, the space flag will be
+ *      ignored.
+ * <dt>#<dd> value is to be converted to an alternative
+ *      form.  For c, d, i, and s conversions, the flag
+ *      has no effect.  For o conversion, it increases
+ *      the precision to force the first digit of the
+ *      result to be a zero.  For x or X conversion, a
+ *      non-zero result has 0x or 0X prefixed to it,
+ *      respectively.  For e, E, f, g, and G
+ *      conversions, the result always contains a radix
+ *      character, even if no digits follow the radix
+ *      character (normally, a decimal point appears in
+ *      the result of these conversions only if a digit
+ *      follows it).  For g and G conversions, trailing
+ *      zeros will not be removed from the result as
+ *      they normally are.
+ * <dt>0<dd> d, i, o, x, X, e, E, f, g, and G
+ *      conversions, leading zeros (following any
+ *      indication of sign or base) are used to pad to
+ *      the field width;  no space padding is
+ *      performed.  If the 0 and - flags both appear,
+ *      the 0 flag is ignored.  For d, i, o, x, and X
+ *      conversions, if a precision is specified, the
+ *      0 flag will be ignored. For c conversions,
+ *      the flag is ignored.
+ *</dl>
+ *
+ *<h4>Conversion Characters</h4>
+ *<p>
+ * Each conversion character results in fetching zero
+ * or more arguments.  The results are undefined if
+ * there are insufficient arguments for the format.
+ * Usually, an unchecked exception will be thrown.
+ * If the format is exhausted while arguments remain,
+ * the excess arguments are ignored.</p>
+ *
+ *<p>
+ * The conversion characters and their meanings are:
+ *</p>
+ *<dl>
+ * <dt>d,i<dd>The int argument is converted to a
+ *        signed decimal in the style [-]dddd.  The
+ *        precision specifies the minimum number of
+ *        digits to appear;  if the value being
+ *        converted can be represented in fewer
+ *        digits, it will be expanded with leading
+ *        zeros.  The default precision is 1.  The
+ *        result of converting 0 with an explicit
+ *        precision of 0 is no characters.
+ * <dt>o<dd> The int argument is converted to unsigned
+ *        octal format in the style ddddd.  The
+ *        precision specifies the minimum number of
+ *        digits to appear;  if the value being
+ *        converted can be represented in fewer
+ *        digits, it will be expanded with leading
+ *        zeros.  The default precision is 1.  The
+ *        result of converting 0 with an explicit
+ *        precision of 0 is no characters.
+ * <dt>x<dd> The int argument is converted to unsigned
+ *        hexadecimal format in the style dddd;  the
+ *        letters abcdef are used.  The precision
+ *        specifies the minimum numberof digits to
+ *        appear; if the value being converted can be
+ *        represented in fewer digits, it will be
+ *        expanded with leading zeros.  The default
+ *        precision is 1.  The result of converting 0
+ *        with an explicit precision of 0 is no
+ *        characters.
+ * <dt>X<dd> Behaves the same as the x conversion
+ *        character except that letters ABCDEF are
+ *        used instead of abcdef.
+ * <dt>f<dd> The floating point number argument is
+ *        written in decimal notation in the style
+ *        [-]ddd.ddd, where the number of digits after
+ *        the radix character (shown here as a decimal
+ *        point) is equal to the precision
+ *        specification.  A Locale is used to determine
+ *        the radix character to use in this format.
+ *        If the precision is omitted from the
+ *        argument, six digits are written after the
+ *        radix character;  if the precision is
+ *        explicitly 0 and the # flag is not specified,
+ *        no radix character appears.  If a radix
+ *        character appears, at least 1 digit appears
+ *        before it.  The value is rounded to the
+ *        appropriate number of digits.
+ * <dt>e,E<dd>The floating point number argument is
+ *        written in the style [-]d.ddde{+-}dd
+ *        (the symbols {+-} indicate either a plus or
+ *        minus sign), where there is one digit before
+ *        the radix character (shown here as a decimal
+ *        point) and the number of digits after it is
+ *        equal to the precision.  A Locale is used to
+ *        determine the radix character to use in this
+ *        format.  When the precision is missing, six
+ *        digits are written after the radix character;
+ *        if the precision is 0 and the # flag is not
+ *        specified, no radix character appears.  The
+ *        E conversion will produce a number with E
+ *        instead of e introducing the exponent.  The
+ *        exponent always contains at least two digits.
+ *        However, if the value to be written requires
+ *        an exponent greater than two digits,
+ *        additional exponent digits are written as
+ *        necessary.  The value is rounded to the
+ *        appropriate number of digits.
+ * <dt>g,G<dd>The floating point number argument is
+ *        written in style f or e (or in sytle E in the
+ *        case of a G conversion character), with the
+ *        precision specifying the number of
+ *        significant digits.  If the precision is
+ *        zero, it is taken as one.  The style used
+ *        depends on the value converted:  style e
+ *        (or E) will be used only if the exponent
+ *        resulting from the conversion is less than
+ *        -4 or greater than or equal to the precision.
+ *        Trailing zeros are removed from the result.
+ *        A radix character appears only if it is
+ *        followed by a digit.
+ * <dt>c,C<dd>The integer argument is converted to a
+ *        char and the result is written.
+ *
+ * <dt>s,S<dd>The argument is taken to be a string and
+ *        bytes from the string are written until the
+ *        end of the string or the number of bytes 
+ *        indicated by the precision specification of
+ *        the argument is reached.  If the precision
+ *        is omitted from the argument, it is taken to
+ *        be infinite, so all characters up to the end
+ *        of the string are written.
+ * <dt>%<dd>Write a % character;  no argument is
+ *        converted.
+ *</dl>
+ *<p>
+ * If a conversion specification does not match one of
+ * the above forms, an IllegalArgumentException is
+ * thrown and the instance of PrintfFormat is not
+ * created.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * If a floating point value is the internal
+ * representation for infinity, the output is
+ * [+]Infinity, where Infinity is either Infinity or
+ * Inf, depending on the desired output string length.
+ * Printing of the sign follows the rules described
+ * above.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * If a floating point value is the internal
+ * representation for "not-a-number," the output is
+ * [+]NaN.  Printing of the sign follows the rules
+ * described above.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * In no case does a non-existent or small field width
+ * cause truncation of a field;  if the result of a
+ * conversion is wider than the field width, the field
+ * is simply expanded to contain the conversion result.
+ *</p>
+ *<p>
+ * The behavior is like printf.  One exception is that
+ * the minimum number of exponent digits is 3 instead
+ * of 2 for e and E formats when the optional L is used
+ * before the e, E, g, or G conversion character.  The
+ * optional L does not imply conversion to a long long
+ * double. </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The biggest divergence from the C printf
+ * specification is in the use of 16 bit characters.
+ * This allows the handling of characters beyond the
+ * small ASCII character set and allows the utility to
+ * interoperate correctly with the rest of the Java
+ * runtime environment.</p>
+ *<p>
+ * Omissions from the C printf specification are
+ * numerous.  All the known omissions are present
+ * because Java never uses bytes to represent
+ * characters and does not have pointers:</p>
+ *<ul>
+ * <li>%c is the same as %C.
+ * <li>%s is the same as %S.
+ * <li>u, p, and n conversion characters. 
+ * <li>%ws format.
+ * <li>h modifier applied to an n conversion character.
+ * <li>l (ell) modifier applied to the c, n, or s
+ * conversion characters.
+ * <li>ll (ell ell) modifier to d, i, o, u, x, or X
+ * conversion characters.
+ * <li>ll (ell ell) modifier to an n conversion
+ * character.
+ * <li>c, C, d,i,o,u,x, and X conversion characters
+ * apply to Byte, Character, Short, Integer, Long
+ * types.
+ * <li>f, e, E, g, and G conversion characters apply
+ * to Float and Double types.
+ * <li>s and S conversion characters apply to String
+ * types.
+ * <li>All other reference types can be formatted
+ * using the s or S conversion characters only.
+ *</ul>
+ * <p>
+ * Most of this specification is quoted from the Unix
+ * man page for the sprintf utility.</p>
