/**
* \file
* \brief C API: URelativeDateTimeFormatter, relative date formatting of unit + numeric offset.
*
* Provides simple formatting of relative dates, in two ways
* <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 does not provide compound formatting for multiple units,
* other than the ability to combine a time string with a relative date,
* as in "next Tuesday at 3:45 PM". It also does not provide support
* for determining which unit to use, such as deciding between "in 7 days"
* and "in 1 week".
