This class represents the current state of the parse. It has the ability to store and retrieve the parsed values and manage optional segments. It also provides key information to the parsing methods.
Once parsing is complete, the {@link #toCalendricalMerger()} is typically usedto obtain a merger that will merge the separate parsed fields into meaningful values.
This class is mutable and thus not thread-safe. Usage of the class is thread-safe within the Time Framework for Java as the framework creates a new instance of the class for each parse. @author Michael Nascimento Santos @author Stephen Colebourne
