      @Deprecated
      public class ExtendedMessageFormat
      extends MessageFormat

  Extends `java.text.MessageFormat` to allow pluggable/additional formatting options for embedded format elements. Client code should specify a registry of `FormatFactory` instances associated with `String` format names. This registry will be consulted when the format elements are parsed from the message pattern. In this way custom patterns can be specified, and the formats supported by `java.text.MessageFormat` can be overridden at the format and/or format style level (see MessageFormat). A "format element" embedded in the message pattern is specified (()? signifies optionality):
  `{`argument-number(`,`format-name (`,`format-style)?)?`}`

  format-name and format-style values are trimmed of surrounding whitespace in the manner of `java.text.MessageFormat`. If format-name denotes `FormatFactory formatFactoryInstance` in `registry`, a `Format` matching format-name and format-style is requested from `formatFactoryInstance`. If this is successful, the `Format` found is used for this format element.

  NOTICE: The various subformat mutator methods are considered unnecessary; they exist on the parent class to allow the type of customization which it is the job of this class to provide in a configurable fashion. These methods have thus been disabled and will throw `UnsupportedOperationException` if called.

  Limitations inherited from `java.text.MessageFormat`:

  - When using "choice" subformats, support for nested formatting instructions is limited to that provided by the base class.
  - Thread-safety of `Format`s, including `MessageFormat` and thus `ExtendedMessageFormat`, is not guaranteed.

    2.4
