/**
 * Controls the printing and parsing of a datetime to and from a string.
 * <p>
 * This class is the main API for printing and parsing used by most applications.
 * Instances of this class are created via one of three factory classes:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link DateTimeFormat} - formats by pattern and style</li>
 * <li>{@link ISODateTimeFormat} - ISO8601 formats</li>
 * <li>{@link DateTimeFormatterBuilder} - complex formats created via method calls</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * An instance of this class holds a reference internally to one printer and
 * one parser. It is possible that one of these may be null, in which case the
 * formatter cannot print/parse. This can be checked via the {@link #isPrinter()}
 * and {@link #isParser()} methods.
 * <p>
 * The underlying printer/parser can be altered to behave exactly as required
 * by using one of the decorator modifiers:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #withLocale(Locale)} - returns a new formatter that uses the specified locale</li>
 * <li>{@link #withZone(DateTimeZone)} - returns a new formatter that uses the specified time zone</li>
 * <li>{@link #withChronology(Chronology)} - returns a new formatter that uses the specified chronology</li>
 * <li>{@link #withOffsetParsed()} - returns a new formatter that returns the parsed time zone offset</li>
 * <li>{@link #withPivotYear(int)} - returns a new formatter with the specified pivot year</li>
 * <li>{@link #withDefaultYear(int)} - returns a new formatter with the specified default year</li>
 * </ul>
 * Each of these returns a new formatter (instances of this class are immutable).
 * <p>
 * The main methods of the class are the <code>printXxx</code> and
 * <code>parseXxx</code> methods. These are used as follows:
 * <pre>
 * // print using the defaults (default locale, chronology/zone of the datetime)
 * String dateStr = formatter.print(dt);
 * // print using the French locale
 * String dateStr = formatter.withLocale(Locale.FRENCH).print(dt);
 * // print using the UTC zone
 * String dateStr = formatter.withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC).print(dt);
 * 
 * // parse using the Paris zone
 * DateTime date = formatter.withZone(DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/Paris")).parseDateTime(str);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Parsing builds up the resultant instant by 'setting' the value of each parsed field
 * from largest to smallest onto an initial instant, typically 1970-01-01T00:00Z.
 * This design means that day-of-month is set before day-of-week.
 * As such, if both the day-of-month and day-of-week are parsed, and the day-of-week
 * is incorrect, then the day-of-week overrides the day-of-month.
 * 
 * This has a side effect if the input is not consistent.
