/**
 * <p>Provides locale-neutral access to string resources.  Only the
 * documentation and code are in English. :-)
 *
 * <p>The major goal, aside from globalization, is convenience.
 * Access to resources with no parameters is made in the form:</p>
 * <pre>
 *     Resources.getMessage(MESSAGE_NAME);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Access to resources with one parameter works like</p>
 * <pre>
 *     Resources.getMessage(MESSAGE_NAME, arg1);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>... and so on.</p>
