Re: [icu-design] formatMeasures(array of Measure *) ?

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

Yes, you're right, I was confusing myself.

Andi, can you open a ticket at http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/newticket
and CC me?  We can then discuss further what the API should look like.

It is likely that this will grow into a discussion on how to add list
formatting to NumberFormatter.  It is the last remaining feature of
measfmt.h not supported by numberformatter.h.
