+ * \brief C++ API: Locale ID object.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * The Locale class is not suitable for subclassing.
+ *
+ * <P>
+ * You can create a <code>Locale</code> object using the constructor in
+ * this class:
+ * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * <pre>
+ *       Locale( const   char*  language,
+ *               const   char*  country,
+ *               const   char*  variant);
+ * </pre>
+ * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * The first argument to the 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:
+ * <BR><a href ="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/">
+ * http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/</a>
+ *
+ * <P>
+ * The second argument to the 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.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/index.html">
+ * http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/index.html</a>
+ *
+ * <P>
+ * The third constructor requires a third argument--the <STRONG>Variant.</STRONG>
+ * The Variant codes are vendor and browser-specific.
+ * For example, use REVISED for a langauge's revised script orthography, 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_POSIX".
+ *
+ * <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
+ * <code>ResourceBundle</code>.
+ *
+ * <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:
+ * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * <pre>
+ *       Locale::getUS()
+ * </pre>
+ * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ *
+ * <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>
+ * ICU 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:
+ * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * <pre>
+ *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+ *     Locale myLocale;
+ *     NumberFormat *nf;
+ *
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( success );          delete nf;
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createCurrencyInstance( success );  delete nf;
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createPercentInstance( success );   delete nf;
+ * </pre>
+ * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale
+ * and one without; the latter using the default locale.
+ * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * <pre>
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createInstance( myLocale, success );          delete nf;
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createCurrencyInstance( myLocale, success );  delete nf;
+ *     nf = NumberFormat::createPercentInstance( myLocale, success );   delete nf;
+ * </pre>
+ * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * 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:
+ * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
+ * <pre>
+ *       static Locale* getAvailableLocales(int32_t& numLocales)
+ *       static UnicodeString& getDisplayName(const Locale&  objectLocale,
+ *                                            const Locale&  displayLocale,
+ *                                            UnicodeString& displayName)
+ *       static UnicodeString& getDisplayName(const Locale&  objectLocale,
+ *                                            UnicodeString& displayName)
+ * </pre>
+ * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
