+/**
+ * A "Locale" is an identifier used to get language, culture, or regionally-specific
+ * behavior from an API. PHP locales are organized and identified the same
+ * way that the CLDR locales used by ICU (and many vendors of Unix-like operating
+ * systems, the Mac, Java, and so forth) use. Locales are identified using
+ * RFC 4646 language tags (which use hyphen, not underscore) in addition to the
+ * more traditional underscore-using identifiers. Unless otherwise noted
+ * the functions in this class are tolerant of both formats.
+ *
+ * Examples of identifiers include:
+ *
+ * * en-US (English, United States)
+ * * zh-Hant-TW (Chinese, Traditional Script, Taiwan)
+ * * fr-CA, fr-FR (French for Canada and France respectively)
+ *
+ * The Locale class (and related procedural functions) are used to interact
+ * with locale identifiers--to verify that an ID is well-formed, valid,
+ * etc. The extensions used by CLDR in UAX #35 (and inherited by ICU) are
+ * valid and used wherever they would be in ICU normally.
+ *
+ * Locales cannot be instantiated as objects. All of the functions/methods
+ * provided are static.
+ *
+ * * The null or empty string obtains the "root" locale.
+ * The "root" locale is equivalent to "en_US_POSIX" in CLDR.
+ * * Language tags (and thus locale identifiers) are case insensitive. There
+ * exists a canonicalization function to make case match the specification.
+ *
+ * @see http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/uloc_8h.html
+ * @see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/
