           ILocaleIdentity

Identity information class for ILocale objects.

Three pieces of information are required to identify a locale:

  o language -- Language in which all of the locale text information are
    returned.

  o script -- Script in which all of the locale text information are
    returned.

  o territory -- Territory for which the locale's information are
    appropriate. None means all territories in which language is spoken.

  o variant -- Sometimes there are regional or historical differences even
    in a certain country. For these cases we use the variant field. A good
    example is the time before the Euro in Germany for example. Therefore
    a valid variant would be 'PREEURO'.

Note that all of these attributes are read-only once they are set (usually
done in the constructor)!

This object is also used to uniquely identify a locale.
