Re: [icu-design] ICU4C 61 API Proposal: Add custom error code for NumberFormatter

[Shane C. <sf...@go...>]

Dear ICU team & users,

Based on feedback, the proposed name of the new error code has been changed
to "U_NUMBER_ARG_OUTOFBOUNDS_ERROR".  All other aspects of the API proposal
remain the same.

Please provide feedback by 2018-02-13.
