With this function you may obtain some basic information on any provided locale identifier, even if it is unsupported by ICU or if you pass a malformed locale identifier (the one that is not, e.g., of the form Language_Country). See stringi-locale for discussion.
This function does not do anything really complicated. In many
cases it is similar to a call to
as.list(stri_split_fixed(locale, '_', 3L)[[1]]),
with locale case mapped.
It may be used, however, to get insight on how ICU understands a given
locale identifier.
