    // The Number class implements methods for formatting and parsing
    // numeric values. To format and parse numeric values, applications should
    // use the Format and Parse methods provided by the numeric
    // classes (Byte, Int16, Int32, Int64,
    // Single, Double, Currency, and Decimal). Those
    // Format and Parse methods share a common implementation
    // provided by this class, and are thus documented in detail here.
    //
    // Formatting
    //
    // The Format methods provided by the numeric classes are all of the
    // form
    //
    //  public static String Format(XXX value, String format);
    //  public static String Format(XXX value, String format, NumberFormatInfo info);
    //
    // where XXX is the name of the particular numeric class. The methods convert
    // the numeric value to a string using the format string given by the
    // format parameter. If the format parameter is null or
    // an empty string, the number is formatted as if the string "G" (general
    // format) was specified. The info parameter specifies the
    // NumberFormatInfo instance to use when formatting the number. If the
    // info parameter is null or omitted, the numeric formatting information
    // is obtained from the current culture. The NumberFormatInfo supplies
    // such information as the characters to use for decimal and thousand
    // separators, and the spelling and placement of currency symbols in monetary
    // values.
    //
    // Format strings fall into two categories: Standard format strings and
    // user-defined format strings. A format string consisting of a single
    // alphabetic character (A-Z or a-z), optionally followed by a sequence of
    // digits (0-9), is a standard format string. All other format strings are
    // used-defined format strings.
    //
    // A standard format string takes the form Axx, where A is an
    // alphabetic character called the format specifier and xx is a
    // sequence of digits called the precision specifier. The format
    // specifier controls the type of formatting applied to the number and the
    // precision specifier controls the number of significant digits or decimal
    // places of the formatting operation. The following table describes the
    // supported standard formats.
    //
    // C c - Currency format. The number is
    // converted to a string that represents a currency amount. The conversion is
    // controlled by the currency format information of the NumberFormatInfo
    // used to format the number. The precision specifier indicates the desired
    // number of decimal places. If the precision specifier is omitted, the default
    // currency precision given by the NumberFormatInfo is used.
    //
    // D d - Decimal format. This format is
    // supported for integral types only. The number is converted to a string of
    // decimal digits, prefixed by a minus sign if the number is negative. The
    // precision specifier indicates the minimum number of digits desired in the
    // resulting string. If required, the number will be left-padded with zeros to
    // produce the number of digits given by the precision specifier.
    //
    // E e Engineering (scientific) format.
    // The number is converted to a string of the form
    // "-d.ddd...E+ddd" or "-d.ddd...e+ddd", where each
    // 'd' indicates a digit (0-9). The string starts with a minus sign if the
    // number is negative, and one digit always precedes the decimal point. The
    // precision specifier indicates the desired number of digits after the decimal
    // point. If the precision specifier is omitted, a default of 6 digits after
    // the decimal point is used. The format specifier indicates whether to prefix
    // the exponent with an 'E' or an 'e'. The exponent is always consists of a
    // plus or minus sign and three digits.
    //
    // F f Fixed point format. The number is
    // converted to a string of the form "-ddd.ddd....", where each
    // 'd' indicates a digit (0-9). The string starts with a minus sign if the
    // number is negative. The precision specifier indicates the desired number of
    // decimal places. If the precision specifier is omitted, the default numeric
    // precision given by the NumberFormatInfo is used.
    //
    // G g - General format. The number is
    // converted to the shortest possible decimal representation using fixed point
    // or scientific format. The precision specifier determines the number of
    // significant digits in the resulting string. If the precision specifier is
    // omitted, the number of significant digits is determined by the type of the
    // number being converted (10 for int, 19 for long, 7 for
    // float, 15 for double, 19 for Currency, and 29 for
    // Decimal). Trailing zeros after the decimal point are removed, and the
    // resulting string contains a decimal point only if required. The resulting
    // string uses fixed point format if the exponent of the number is less than
    // the number of significant digits and greater than or equal to -4. Otherwise,
    // the resulting string uses scientific format, and the case of the format
    // specifier controls whether the exponent is prefixed with an 'E' or an
    // 'e'.
    //
    // N n Number format. The number is
    // converted to a string of the form "-d,ddd,ddd.ddd....", where
    // each 'd' indicates a digit (0-9). The string starts with a minus sign if the
    // number is negative. Thousand separators are inserted between each group of
    // three digits to the left of the decimal point. The precision specifier
    // indicates the desired number of decimal places. If the precision specifier
    // is omitted, the default numeric precision given by the
    // NumberFormatInfo is used.
    //
    // X x - Hexadecimal format. This format is
    // supported for integral types only. The number is converted to a string of
    // hexadecimal digits. The format specifier indicates whether to use upper or
    // lower case characters for the hexadecimal digits above 9 ('X' for 'ABCDEF',
    // and 'x' for 'abcdef'). The precision specifier indicates the minimum number
    // of digits desired in the resulting string. If required, the number will be
    // left-padded with zeros to produce the number of digits given by the
    // precision specifier.
    //

    // Format strings that do not start with an alphabetic character, or that start
    // with an alphabetic character followed by a non-digit, are called
    // user-defined format strings. The following table describes the formatting
    // characters that are supported in user defined format strings.
    //
    // 
    // 0 - Digit placeholder. If the value being
    // formatted has a digit in the position where the '0' appears in the format
    // string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise, a '0' is
    // stored in that position in the output string. The position of the leftmost
    // '0' before the decimal point and the rightmost '0' after the decimal point
    // determines the range of digits that are always present in the output
    // string.
    //
    // # - Digit placeholder. If the value being
    // formatted has a digit in the position where the '#' appears in the format
    // string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise, nothing
    // is stored in that position in the output string.
    //
    // . - Decimal point. The first '.' character
    // in the format string determines the location of the decimal separator in the
    // formatted value; any additional '.' characters are ignored. The actual
    // character used as a the decimal separator in the output string is given by
    // the NumberFormatInfo used to format the number.
    //
    // , - Thousand separator and number scaling.
    // The ',' character serves two purposes. First, if the format string contains
    // a ',' character between two digit placeholders (0 or #) and to the left of
    // the decimal point if one is present, then the output will have thousand
    // separators inserted between each group of three digits to the left of the
    // decimal separator. The actual character used as a the decimal separator in
    // the output string is given by the NumberFormatInfo used to format the
    // number. Second, if the format string contains one or more ',' characters
    // immediately to the left of the decimal point, or after the last digit
    // placeholder if there is no decimal point, then the number will be divided by
    // 1000 times the number of ',' characters before it is formatted. For example,
    // the format string '0,,' will represent 100 million as just 100. Use of the
    // ',' character to indicate scaling does not also cause the formatted number
    // to have thousand separators. Thus, to scale a number by 1 million and insert
    // thousand separators you would use the format string '#,##0,,'.
    //
    // % - Percentage placeholder. The presence of
    // a '%' character in the format string causes the number to be multiplied by
    // 100 before it is formatted. The '%' character itself is inserted in the
    // output string where it appears in the format string.
    //
    // E+ E- e+ e-   - Scientific notation.
    // If any of the strings 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' are present in the format
    // string and are immediately followed by at least one '0' character, then the
    // number is formatted using scientific notation with an 'E' or 'e' inserted
    // between the number and the exponent. The number of '0' characters following
    // the scientific notation indicator determines the minimum number of digits to
    // output for the exponent. The 'E+' and 'e+' formats indicate that a sign
    // character (plus or minus) should always precede the exponent. The 'E-' and
    // 'e-' formats indicate that a sign character should only precede negative
    // exponents.
    //
    // \ - Literal character. A backslash character
    // causes the next character in the format string to be copied to the output
    // string as-is. The backslash itself isn't copied, so to place a backslash
    // character in the output string, use two backslashes (\\) in the format
    // string.
    //
    // 'ABC' "ABC" - Literal string. Characters
    // enclosed in single or double quotation marks are copied to the output string
    // as-is and do not affect formatting.
    //
    // ; - Section separator. The ';' character is
    // used to separate sections for positive, negative, and zero numbers in the
    // format string.
    //
    // Other - All other characters are copied to
    // the output string in the position they appear.
    //
    // For fixed point formats (formats not containing an 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or
    // 'e-'), the number is rounded to as many decimal places as there are digit
    // placeholders to the right of the decimal point. If the format string does
    // not contain a decimal point, the number is rounded to the nearest
    // integer. If the number has more digits than there are digit placeholders to
    // the left of the decimal point, the extra digits are copied to the output
    // string immediately before the first digit placeholder.
    //
    // For scientific formats, the number is rounded to as many significant digits
    // as there are digit placeholders in the format string.
    //
    // To allow for different formatting of positive, negative, and zero values, a
    // user-defined format string may contain up to three sections separated by
    // semicolons. The results of having one, two, or three sections in the format
    // string are described in the table below.
    //
    // Sections:
    //
    // One - The format string applies to all values.
    //
    // Two - The first section applies to positive values
    // and zeros, and the second section applies to negative values. If the number
    // to be formatted is negative, but becomes zero after rounding according to
    // the format in the second section, then the resulting zero is formatted
    // according to the first section.
    //
    // Three - The first section applies to positive
    // values, the second section applies to negative values, and the third section
    // applies to zeros. The second section may be left empty (by having no
    // characters between the semicolons), in which case the first section applies
    // to all non-zero values. If the number to be formatted is non-zero, but
    // becomes zero after rounding according to the format in the first or second
    // section, then the resulting zero is formatted according to the third
    // section.
    //
    // For both standard and user-defined formatting operations on values of type
    // float and double, if the value being formatted is a NaN (Not
    // a Number) or a positive or negative infinity, then regardless of the format
    // string, the resulting string is given by the NaNSymbol,
    // PositiveInfinitySymbol, or NegativeInfinitySymbol property of
    // the NumberFormatInfo used to format the number.
    //
    // Parsing
    //
    // The Parse methods provided by the numeric classes are all of the form
    //
    //  public static XXX Parse(String s);
    //  public static XXX Parse(String s, int style);
    //  public static XXX Parse(String s, int style, NumberFormatInfo info);
    //
    // where XXX is the name of the particular numeric class. The methods convert a
    // string to a numeric value. The optional style parameter specifies the
    // permitted style of the numeric string. It must be a combination of bit flags
    // from the NumberStyles enumeration. The optional info parameter
    // specifies the NumberFormatInfo instance to use when parsing the
    // string. If the info parameter is null or omitted, the numeric
    // formatting information is obtained from the current culture.
    //
    // Numeric strings produced by the Format methods using the Currency,
    // Decimal, Engineering, Fixed point, General, or Number standard formats
    // (the C, D, E, F, G, and N format specifiers) are guaranteed to be parseable
    // by the Parse methods if the NumberStyles.Any style is
    // specified. Note, however, that the Parse methods do not accept
    // NaNs or Infinities.
