/**
 *
 * 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>
 * Create a <code>Locale</code> object using the constructors in this class:
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 * Locale(String language)
 * Locale(String language, String country)
 * Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * The language argument 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.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">
 * <code>http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html</code></a>
 *
 * <P>
 * The country argument 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.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html">
 * <code>http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html</code></a>
 *
 * <P>
 * The variant argument is a vendor or browser-specific code.
 * 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 construct a locale with parameters for language, country and variant as:
 * "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
 * {@link ResourceBundle}.
 *
 * <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 creates 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 uses the locale specified as an argument.
 *
 * <P>
 * The Java Platform 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>
 * These methods have 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.
