Locale class

An identifier used to select a user's language and formatting preferences.

This represents a Unicode Language Identifier (i.e. without Locale extensions), except variants are not supported.

Locales are canonicalized according to the "preferred value" entries in the IANA Language Subtag Registry. For example, const Locale('he') and const Locale('iw') are equal and both have the languageCode he, because iw is a deprecated language subtag that was replaced by the subtag he.
