/**
 * CChoiceFormat is a helper that chooses an appropriate message based on the specified number value.
 * The candidate messages are given as a string in the following format:
 * <pre>
 * 'expr1#message1|expr2#message2|expr3#message3'
 * </pre>
 * where each expression should be a valid PHP expression with 'n' as the only variable.
 * For example, 'n==1' and 'n%10==2 && n>10' are both valid expressions.
 * The variable 'n' will take the given number value, and if an expression evaluates true,
 * the corresponding message will be returned.
 *
 * For example, given the candidate messages 'n==1#one|n==2#two|n>2#others' and
 * the number value 2, the resulting message will be 'two'.
 *
 * For expressions like 'n==1', we can also use a shortcut '1'. So the above example
 * candidate messages can be simplified as '1#one|2#two|n>2#others'.
 *
 * In case the given number doesn't select any message, the last candidate message
 * will be returned.
