/**
* Formats simple relative dates. There are two types of relative dates that
* it handles:
* <ul>
* <li>relative dates with a quantity e.g "in 5 days"</li>
* <li>relative dates without a quantity e.g "next Tuesday"</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* This API is very basic and is intended to be a building block for more
* fancy APIs. The caller tells it exactly what to display in a locale
* independent way. While this class automatically provides the correct plural
* forms, the grammatical form is otherwise as neutral as possible. It is the
* caller's responsibility to handle cut-off logic such as deciding between
* displaying "in 7 days" or "in 1 week." This API supports relative dates
* involving one single unit. This API does not support relative dates
* involving compound units,
* e.g "in 5 days and 4 hours" nor does it support parsing.
* <p>
* This class is mostly thread safe and immutable with the following caveats:
* 1. The assignment operator violates Immutability. It must not be used
* concurrently with other operations.
* 2. Caller must not hold onto adopted pointers.
* <p>
* This class is not intended for public subclassing.
* <p>
* Here are some examples of use:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* UnicodeString appendTo;
* RelativeDateTimeFormatter fmt(status);
* // Appends "in 1 day"
* fmt.format(
* 1, UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_RELATIVE_DAYS, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "in 3 days"
* fmt.format(
* 3, UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_RELATIVE_DAYS, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "3.2 years ago"
* fmt.format(
* 3.2, UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_RELATIVE_YEARS, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "last Sunday"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "this Sunday"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_THIS, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "next Sunday"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "Sunday"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_PLAIN, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status);
*
* // Appends "yesterday"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "today"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_THIS, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "tomorrow"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status);
* // Appends "now"
* fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_PLAIN, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_NOW, appendTo, status);
*
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* <p>
* In the future, we may add more forms, such as abbreviated/short forms
* (3 secs ago), and relative day periods ("yesterday afternoon"), etc.
*
