/** object represents a specific geographical, political, or cultural region.

	<p>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.  </p>

	<p> Because a <code>Locale</code> object is just an identifier for a
	region, no validity check is performed.  If you want to see whether
	particular resources are available for the <code>Locale</code>, use
	the <method scope="com::sun::star::resource">XLocale::getAvailableLocales</method> method to ask for the
	locales it supports.</p>

	<p> <strong>Note:</strong> When you ask for a resource for a
	particular locale, you get the best available match, not necessarily
	precisely what you asked for. For more information, see
	<type scope="com::sun::star::resource">XResourceBundle</type>.</p>

	<p> Each implementation that performs locale-sensitive operations
	allows you to get all the available objects of that type. Use the
	<typed scope="com::sun::star::resource">XLocale</type> interface to set the locale. </p>
