/// A formatter basically takes a Message object
/// and formats it into a string. How the formatting
/// is exactly done is up to the implementation of
/// Formatter. For example, a very simple implementation
/// might simply take the message's Text (see Message::getText()).
/// A useful implementation should at least take the Message's
/// Time, Priority and Text fields and put them into a string.
///
/// The Formatter class supports the Configurable
/// interface, so the behaviour of certain formatters
/// is configurable.
///
/// Trivial implementations of of getProperty() and
/// setProperty() are provided.
///
/// Subclasses must at least provide a format() method.
