Default number formatting functions in the style of ICU's simpleArg syntax implemented using the Intl object defined by ECMA-402.
Note: Intl is not defined in default Node until 0.11.15 / 0.12.0, so earlier versions require a polyfill. Therefore MessageFormat.withIntlSupport needs to be true for these functions to be available for inclusion in the output.
Properties:

date |
