   * It takes two integer arguments that must be valid `dateTimeFormatStyle*`
   * values (see constants defined above), and a string representing a

   * Notice, this is a pretty unique method in this API in that it does
   * more than look up into host environment.
   * The reason for that is that constructing the right date/time pattern
   * requires a lot of OS-specific logic and it ends up being easier to just
   * handle all scenarios, including with cases where we fail to retrieve
   * anything from the OS, here.
