It is possible to enclose the values of the pattern and locale in single or double quotes. This is
required for including whitespace in a pattern, or when the ${expression} would otherwise be
ambiguous.
At run-time, the output engine determines the type of the value yielded by the expression. If this
is a number, a number pattern is expected. For date/time-like types, a date pattern is expected.
When no pattern is specified, some default format is applied. For other types, it is not possible
to specify a pattern or locale.
