\class BLocaleRoster
\ingroup locale

\brief Main class for accessing the Locale Kit data.
The Locale Roster is the central part of the locale kit. It is a global
object (\c be_locale_roster) storing all the useful locale data. Other
classes from the Locale Kit can be constructed on their own, but only the
Locale Roster allows you to do so while taking account of the user's locale
settings.
