+/**
+ * \file
+ * \brief C API: Wrapper for DateTimePatternGenerator (unicode/dtptngen.h).
+ *
+ * UDateTimePatternGenerator provides flexible generation of date format patterns, 
+ * like "yy-MM-dd". The user can build up the generator by adding successive 
+ * patterns. Once that is done, a query can be made using a "skeleton", which is 
+ * a pattern which just includes the desired fields and lengths. The generator 
+ * will return the "best fit" pattern corresponding to that skeleton.
+ * <p>The main method people will use is udatpg_getBestPattern, since normally
+ * UDateTimePatternGenerator is pre-built with data from a particular locale. 
+ * However, generators can be built directly from other data as well.
+ * <p><i>Issue: may be useful to also have a function that returns the list of 
+ * fields in a pattern, in order, since we have that internally.
+ * That would be useful for getting the UI order of field elements.</i>
