/**
*
* A <code>Locale</code> object represents a specific geographical, political,
* or cultural region. An operation that requires a <code>Locale</code> to perform
* its task is called <em>locale-sensitive</em> and uses the <code>Locale</code>
* to tailor information for the user. For example, displaying a number
* is a locale-sensitive operation--the number should be formatted
* according to the customs/conventions of the user's native country,
* region, or culture.
*
* <P>
* You create a <code>Locale</code> object using one of the two constructors in
* this class:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* . Locale(String language, String country)
* . Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* The first argument to both constructors is a valid <STRONG>ISO
* Language Code.</STRONG> These codes are the lower-case two-letter
* codes as defined by ISO-639.
* You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
* <BR><a href ="http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt">
* <code>http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt</code></a>
*
* <P>
* The second argument to both constructors is a valid <STRONG>ISO Country
* Code.</STRONG> These codes are the upper-case two-letter codes
* as defined by ISO-3166.
* You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
* <BR><a href="http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html">
* <code>http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html</code></a>
*
* <P>
* The second constructor requires a third argument--the <STRONG>Variant.</STRONG>
* The Variant codes are vendor and browser-specific.
* For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX.
* Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and
* put the most important one first. For
* example, a Traditional Spanish collation might be referenced, with
* "ES", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
*
* <P>
* Because a <code>Locale</code> object is just an identifier for a region,
* no validity check is performed when you construct a <code>Locale</code>.
* If you want to see whether particular resources are available for the
* <code>Locale</code> you construct, you must query those resources. For
* example, ask the <code>NumberFormat</code> for the locales it supports
* using its <code>getAvailableLocales</code> method.
* <BR><STRONG>Note:</STRONG> When you ask for a resource for a particular
* locale, you get back the best available match, not necessarily
* precisely what you asked for. For more information, look at
* <a href="java.util.ResourceBundle.html"><code>ResourceBundle</code></a>.
*
* <P>
* The <code>Locale</code> class provides a number of convenient constants
* that you can use to create <code>Locale</code> objects for commonly used
* locales. For example, the following refers to a <code>Locale</code> object
* for the United States:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* . Locale::US
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
*
* <P>
* Once you've created a <code>Locale</code> you can query it for information about
* itself. Use <code>getCountry</code> to get the ISO Country Code and
* <code>getLanguage</code> to get the ISO Language Code. You can
* use <code>getDisplayCountry</code> to get the
* name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
* you can use <code>getDisplayLanguage</code> to get the name of
* the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly,
* the <code>getDisplayXXX</code> methods are themselves locale-sensitive
* and have two versions: one that uses the default locale and one
* that takes a locale as an argument and displays the name or country in
* a language appropriate to that locale.
*
* <P>
* The TIFC provides a number of classes that perform locale-sensitive
* operations. For example, the <code>NumberFormat</code> class formats
* numbers, currency, or percentages in a locale-sensitive manner. Classes
* such as <code>NumberFormat</code> have a number of convenience methods
* for creating a default object of that type. For example, the
* <code>NumberFormat</code> class provides these three convenience methods
* for creating a default <code>NumberFormat</code> object:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* . NumberFormat.getInstance()
* . NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance()
* . NumberFormat.getPercentInstance()
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale
* and one without; the latter using the default locale.
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* . NumberFormat.getInstance(myLocale)
* . NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(myLocale)
* . NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(myLocale)
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* A <code>Locale</code> is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object
* (<code>NumberFormat</code>) that you would like to get. The locale is
* <STRONG>just</STRONG> a mechanism for identifying objects,
* <STRONG>not</STRONG> a container for the objects themselves.
*
* <P>
* Each class that performs locale-sensitive operations allows you
* to get all the available objects of that type. You can sift
* through these objects by language, country, or variant,
* and use the display names to present a menu to the user.
* For example, you can create a menu of all the collation objects
* suitable for a given language. Such classes implement these
* three class methods:
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* . static Locale* getAvailableLocales(t_int32& numLocales)
* . static UnicodeString& getDisplayName(const Locale& objectLocale,
* . const Locale& displayLocale,
* . UnicodeString& displayName)
* . static UnicodeString& getDisplayName(const Locale& objectLocale,
* . UnicodeString& displayName)
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
