Description

The parseObject(String) method, inherited from the standard Java class Format, throws a checked ParseException.
A new runtime MathParseException is to be created to be thrown instead when parsing fails. However, this can cause a problem, as explained on the ML.
I propose that CompositeFormat becomes an instance variable of RealVectorFormat (instead of being a base class) to avoid that pitfall.
