/**
 * This convenience class provides a mechanism for bundling together different
 * globalization preferences. It includes:
 * <ul>
 * <li>A list of locales/languages in preference order</li>
 * <li>A territory</li>
 * <li>A currency</li>
 * <li>A timezone</li>
 * <li>A calendar</li>
 * <li>A collator (for language-sensitive sorting, searching, and matching).</li>
 * <li>Explicit overrides for date/time formats, etc.</li>
 * </ul>
 * The class will heuristically compute implicit, heuristic values for the above
 * based on available data if explicit values are not supplied. These implicit
 * values can be presented to users for confirmation, or replacement if the
 * values are incorrect.
 * <p>
 * To reset any explicit field so that it will get heuristic values, pass in
 * null. For example, myPreferences.setLocale(null);
 * <p>
 * All of the heuristics can be customized by subclasses, by overriding
 * getTerritory(), guessCollator(), etc.
 * <p>
 * The class also supplies display names for languages, scripts, territories,
 * currencies, timezones, etc. These are computed according to the
 * locale/language preference list. Thus, if the preference is Breton; French;
 * English, then the display name for a language will be returned in Breton if
 * available, otherwise in French if available, otherwise in English.
 * <p>
 * The codes used to reference territory, currency, etc. are as defined elsewhere
 * in ICU, and are taken from CLDR (which reflects RFC 3066bis usage, ISO 4217,
 * and the TZ Timezone database identifiers).
 * <p>
 * <b>This is at a prototype stage, and has not incorporated all the design
 * changes that we would like yet; further feedback is welcome.</b></p>
 * <p>
 * TODO:<ul>
 * <li>Add Holidays</li>
 * <li>Add convenience to get/take Locale as well as ULocale.</li>
 * <li>Add Lenient datetime formatting when that is available.</li>
 * <li>Should this be serializable?</li>
 * <li>Other utilities?</li>
 * </ul>
 * Note:
 * <ul>
 * <li>to get the display name for the first day of the week, use the calendar +
 * display names.</li>
 * <li>to get the work days, ask the calendar (when that is available).</li>
 * <li>to get papersize / measurement system/bidi-orientation, ask the locale
 * (when that is available there)</li>
 * <li>to get the field order in a date, and whether a time is 24hour or not,
 * ask the DateFormat (when that is available there)</li>
 * <li>it will support HOST locale when it becomes available (it is a special
 * locale that will ask the services to use the host platform's values).</li>
 * </ul>
