> Please review this PR which handles an edge case pattern bug with ChoiceFormat.

> var d = new ChoiceFormat("0#foo|1#bar|baz|") // creates cFmt equivalent to "0.0#foo|1.0#bar|1.0#"
> d.format(1) // unexpectedly returns ""

> Not only does this lead to faulty formatting results, but breaks the ChoiceFormat class invariant of duplicate limits.
>
> It would have been preferable if either an exception was thrown when the ChoiceFormat was initially created, or the ChoiceFormat formatting 1 returned a value of "bar".
>
> For comparison,
>
> var d = new ChoiceFormat("0#foo|1#bar|baz") // creates cFmt equivalent to "0.0#foo|1.0#bar"
> d.format(1) // returns "bar"

> After this change, the first code snippet now returns "bar" when formatting 1 and discards the "baz" as the second code snippet does.

> The fix prevents a limit/format entry from being built when the current parsing mode has not yet processed the limit and relation. The previous implementation would build an additional limit/format of 1 with an empty string. The `break` allows for the discarding of the incorrect portion and continuing. Alternatively an exception could have been thrown. For consistency with the second code snippet, the former was picked.
