Enumerations enum RWDateOrder { DMY, MDY, YDM, YMD } ;
Public constructor RWLocaleSnapshot(const char* localeName = 0) ;
Constructs an RWLocale object by extracting formats from the global locale
environment. It uses the Standard C Library function setlocale() to set the
named locale, and then restores the previous global locale after formats have
been extracted. If localeName is 0, it simply uses the current locale. The
most useful locale name is the empty string, ““, which is a synonym for the
user’s chosen locale (usually specified by the environment variable LANG ).
