/**
 * Locale class is a core representation of a single locale.
 *
 * A locale is a data object representing a combination of language, script,
 * region, variant and a set of regional extension preferences that may further
 * specify particular user choices like calendar, numbering system, etc.
 *
 * A locale can be expressed as a language tag string, like a simple "fr" for
 * French, or a more specific "sr-Cyrl-RS-u-hc-h12" for Serbian in Russia with a
 * Cyrylic script, and hour cycle selected to be `h12`.
 *
 * The format of the language tag follows BCP47 standard and implements a subset
 * of it. In the future we expect to extend this class to cover more subtags and
 * extensions.
 *
 * BCP47: https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47
 *
 * The aim of this class it aid in validation, parsing and canonicalization of
 * the string.
 *
 * It allows the user to input any well-formed BCP47 language tag and operate
 * on its subtags in a canonicalized form.
 *
 * It should be used for all operations on language tags, and together with
 * LocaleService::NegotiateLanguages for language negotiation.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *     Locale loc = Locale("de-at");
 *
 *     ASSERT_TRUE(loc.GetLanguage().Equals("de"));
 *     ASSERT_TRUE(loc.GetScript().IsEmpty());
 *     ASSERT_TRUE(loc.GetRegion().Equals("AT")); // canonicalized to upper case
 *
 *
 * Note: The file name is `MozLocale` to avoid compilation problems on
 * case-insensitive Windows. The class name is `Locale`.

   *  * Underscore delimiters replaced with dashed (e.g. "en_US" -> "en-US")
   *
   * If the input language tag string is not well-formed, the Locale will be
   * created with its flag `mWellFormed` set to false which will make the Locale
   * never match.
