Re: int64 support - addendum

I can see the first two functions being useful.  Why is the third function 
being added?  I don't see much of an advantage to the third function over 
the first two functions.

A few corrections to my previous post on this topic...  These affect
Formattable only.

String results set to bogus, not unchanged or undefined as in previous 
version.

/**
* Gets the string value of this object.
* @param result    Output param to receive the Date value of this object.
* @param status    the error code.  If the type is not a string, status
* is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR and the result is set to bogus.
* @return          A reference to 'result'.
* @draft ICU 2.8
*/
UnicodeString&  getString(UnicodeString& result, UErrorCode* status) 
const;

/**
* Gets a const reference to the string value of this object.
* @param status    the error code.  If the type is not a string, status
* is set to U_INVALID_FORMAT_ERROR and the result is a bogus string.
* @return   a const reference to the string value of this object.
* @draft ICU 2.8
*/
const UnicodeString& getString(UErrorCode* status) const;

/**

UnicodeString& getString(UErrorCode* status);

--- forgot to include the actual API in previous message (thanks Markus!)

/**

const Formattable* getArray(int32_t& count, UErrorCode* status) const;
