/**
 * {@icuenhanced java.util.Locale}.{@icu _usage_}
 *
 * A class analogous to {@link java.util.Locale} that 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 populated locale is found (the <i>valid</i> locale),
 * further fallback may be required to reach a locale containing the
 * specific data required by the service (the <i>actual</i> locale).
 *
 * <p>ULocale performs <b>'normalization'</b> and <b>'canonicalization'</b> of locale ids.
 * Normalization 'cleans up' ICU locale ids as follows:
 * <ul>
 * <li>language, script, country, variant, and keywords are properly cased<br>
 * (lower, title, upper, upper, and lower case respectively)</li>
 * <li>hyphens used as separators are converted to underscores</li>
 * <li>three-letter language and country ids are converted to two-letter
 * equivalents where available</li>
 * <li>surrounding spaces are removed from keywords and values</li>
 * <li>if there are multiple keywords, they are put in sorted order</li>
 * </ul>
 * Canonicalization additionally performs the following:
 * <ul>
 * <li>POSIX ids are converted to ICU format IDs</li>
 * <li>'grandfathered' 3066 ids are converted to ICU standard form</li>
 * <li>'PREEURO' and 'EURO' variants are converted to currency keyword form,
 * with the currency
 * id appropriate to the country of the locale (for PREEURO) or EUR (for EURO).
 * </ul>
 * All ULocale constructors automatically normalize the locale id.  To handle
 * POSIX ids, <code>canonicalize</code> can be called to convert the id
 * to canonical form, or the <code>canonicalInstance</code> factory method
 * can be called.</p>
 *
 * <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},
 * <a href="../text/Collator.html" title="class in com.ibm.icu.text"><code>Collator</code></a>,
 * {@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 <i>actual</i> locale is returned correctly, but the <i>valid</i>
 * locale is not, in most cases.

     * <li>The portion of a private use subtag prefixed by "lvariant",

     *
     * <li>When the languageTag argument contains an extlang subtag,
     * the first such subtag is used as the language, and the primary
     * language subtag and other extlang subtags are ignored:
     *
     * <pre>
     *     ULocale.forLanguageTag("ar-aao").getLanguage(); // returns "aao"
     *     ULocale.forLanguageTag("en-abc-def-us").toString(); // returns "abc_US"
     * </pre>

     * <code>Builder</code> is used to build instances of <code>ULocale</code>

     * class.  A <code>ULocale</code> object created by a <code>Builder</code> is

     * <p><b>Note:</b> The <code>ULocale</code> class does not provide any
     * syntactic restrictions on variant, while BCP 47 requires each variant
     * subtag to be 5 to 8 alphanumerics or a single numeric followed by 3

     * <code>IllformedLocaleException</code> for a variant that does not satisfy
