FormatUtil (KDG Commons 1.0.17 API)

```
public class FormatUtil
extends Object
```
Contains static utility methods that invoke the various java.text formatters, using a pool of thread-local instances. This avoids the cost of constructing these objects on an as-needed basis (a tenth of a millisecond or so, but it adds up), and also avoids the risk of using a single object multiple threads.
