/**
 * CalculateMinimumDateFieldSize, This class is used to calculate the minimum horizontal size needed
 * for text fields that hold dates. (Such as the text field in the DatePicker component.)
 *
 * The size that is returned is designed to be the smallest size that will hold the longest
 * displayable date under current DatePickerSettings, without cropping the text. The "longest date",
 * needs to take into account the following factors: The longest (in pixels) month name in the
 * current locale, the font object for valid dates (including the font type and size), and the
 * currently set display format for AD dates.

    /**
     * getFormattedDateWidthInPixels, This returns the width (in pixels) of the longest formatted
     * date, using the supplied DateTimeFormatter instance, locale, and font.
     *
     * The month that will be used for the length calculation will be the "longest text month"
     * according to the function getLongestTextMonthInLocale().
     *
     * You may optionally add extra characters to the longestDateString that is used in the
     * calculation, by supplying a nonzero value for the parameter numberOfExtraCharacters.
     *
     * formatCE: This is the date format that should be used in the calculation. Longer (wider)
     * formats will result in wider printed dates.
     *
     * locale: This is the locale that you wish to use in the calculation. The width of the date
     * string (and the width of the month names) will be different depending on the locale that is
     * used to translate and format the date.
     *
     * fontValidDate: This will be used to generate the font metrics for the calculation. Larger
     * font types, and larger font sizes, will result in wider printed dates.
     *
     * numberOfExtraCharacters: This is the number of "extra" characters that you want to have used
     * in calculating the width of the longest formatted date. If you don't wish for any extra
     * characters to be used in the calculation, please supply zero for this value. If you wish to
     * -shorten- the default date string, you may also supply a negative number of characters for
     * this value.
     *
     * Implementation details: Note that any formatted date could be made longer by using years
     * greater than four digits, or by using BC years. This function assumes four digit Common Era
     * years, in performing its calculations.
