      The interface java.util.Formattable forces its clients (extending interfaces
      and implementing classes) to adopt the constant interface antipattern for
      LEFT_JUSTIFY, UPPERCASE, and ALTERNATE. Specifically, these constants become
      part of the public API of any class that implements Formattable.
