+/**
+ * The DateLocale class is a container and base class for all
+ * localised date strings used by YAHOO.util.Date. It is used
+ * internally, but may be extended to provide new date localisations.
+ *
+ * To create your own DateLocale, follow these steps:
+ * <ol>
+ *  <li>Find an existing locale that matches closely with your needs</li>
+ *  <li>Use this as your base class.  Use YAHOO.util.DateLocale if nothing
+ *   matches.</li>
+ *  <li>Create your own class as an extension of the base class using
+ *   YAHOO.lang.merge, and add your own localisations where needed.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * See the YAHOO.util.DateLocale['en-US'] and YAHOO.util.DateLocale['en-GB']
+ * classes which extend YAHOO.util.DateLocale['en'].
+ *
+ * For example, to implement locales for French french and Canadian french,
+ * we would do the following:
+ * <ol>
+ *  <li>For French french, we have no existing similar locale, so use
+ *   YAHOO.util.DateLocale as the base, and extend it:
+ *   <pre>
+ *      YAHOO.util.DateLocale['fr'] = YAHOO.lang.merge(YAHOO.util.DateLocale, {
+ *          a: ['dim', 'lun', 'mar', 'mer', 'jeu', 'ven', 'sam'],
+ *          A: ['dimanche', 'lundi', 'mardi', 'mercredi', 'jeudi', 'vendredi', 'samedi'],
+ *          b: ['jan', 'f&eacute;v', 'mar', 'avr', 'mai', 'jun', 'jui', 'ao&ucirc;', 'sep', 'oct', 'nov', 'd&eacute;c'],
+ *          B: ['janvier', 'f&eacute;vrier', 'mars', 'avril', 'mai', 'juin', 'juillet', 'ao&ucirc;t', 'septembre', 'octobre', 'novembre', 'd&eacute;cembre'],
+ *          c: '%a %d %b %Y %T %Z',
+ *          p: ['', ''],
+ *          P: ['', ''],
+ *          x: '%d.%m.%Y',
+ *          X: '%T'
+ *      });
+ *   </pre>
+ *  </li>
+ *  <li>For Canadian french, we start with French french and change the meaning of \%x:
+ *   <pre>
+ *      YAHOO.util.DateLocale['fr-CA'] = YAHOO.lang.merge(YAHOO.util.DateLocale['fr'], {
+ *          x: '%Y-%m-%d'
+ *      });
+ *   </pre>
+ *  </li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * With that, you can use your new locales:
+ * <pre>
+ *    var d = new Date("2008/04/22");
+ *    YAHOO.util.Date.format(d, {format: "%A, %d %B == %x"}, "fr");
+ * </pre>
+ * will return:
+ * <pre>
+ *    mardi, 22 avril == 22.04.2008
+ * </pre>
+ * And
+ * <pre>
+ *    YAHOO.util.Date.format(d, {format: "%A, %d %B == %x"}, "fr-CA");
+ * </pre>
+ * Will return:
+ * <pre>
+ *   mardi, 22 avril == 2008-04-22
+ * </pre>
