While we're on the subject of enhancement requests for Locales -- it would help
if the Locale could cache more data than the currently (rather ugly) hardwired
list of 8 "features":

    dateSeparator
    decimalSeparator
    listSeparator
    timeSeparator
    currencySymbol
    amDesignator
    pmDesignator
    dayNames
    monthNames

I suggest adding a small hash table to each Locale (and maybe downgrade the
less frequently used instvars to be entries in that table).

My localised number printing/parsing stuff would would use that if it were
available -- there are at least 8 additional candidate fields.
