/**
 * A class is analogous to {@link java.util.Locale} and provides additional
 * support for ICU protocol.  In ICU 3.0 this class is enhanced to support
 * RFC 3066 language identifiers.
 *
 * <p>Many classes and services in ICU follow a factory idiom, in which a
 * factory method or object responds to a client request with an
 * object.  The request includes a locale (the <i>requested</i>
 * locale), and the returned object is constructed using data for that
 * locale.  The system may lack data for the requested locale, in
 * which case the locale fallback mechanism will be invoked until a
 * populated locale is found (the <i>valid</i> locale).  Furthermore,
 * even when a valid locale is found, further fallback may be required
 * to reach a locale containing the specific data required by the
 * service (the <i>actual</i> locale).
 *
 * <p>This class provides selectors {@link #VALID_LOCALE} and {@link
 * #ACTUAL_LOCALE} intended for use in methods named
 * <tt>getLocale()</tt>.  These methods exist in several ICU classes,
 * including {@link com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar}, {@link
 * com.ibm.icu.util.Currency}, {@link com.ibm.icu.text.UFormat},
 * {@link com.ibm.icu.text.BreakIterator}, {@link
 * com.ibm.icu.text.Collator}, {@link
 * com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormatSymbols}, and {@link
 * com.ibm.icu.text.DecimalFormatSymbols} and their subclasses, if
 * any.  Once an object of one of these classes has been created,
 * <tt>getLocale()</tt> may be called on it to determine the valid and
 * actual locale arrived at during the object's construction.
 *
 * <p>Note: The <tt>getLocale()</tt> method will be implemented in ICU
 * 3.0; ICU 2.8 contains a partial preview implementation.  The
 * <i>actual</i> locale is returned correctly, but the <i>valid</i>
 * locale is not, in most cases.
