 * \brief C API: Resource Bundle 
 *
 * <h2>C API: Resource Bundle</h2>
 *
 * C API representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given
 * locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specific information in
 * a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given
 * locale and then ask it for individual resources.
 * <P>
 * The resource bundle file is a text (ASCII or Unicode) file with the format:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    locale {
 *       tag1 {...}
 *       tag2 {...}
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * The tags are used to retrieve the data later. You may not have multiple instances of
 * the same tag.
 * <P>
 * Four data types are supported. These are solitary strings, comma-delimited lists of
 * strings, 2-dimensional arrays of strings, and tagged lists of strings.
 * <P>
 * Note that all data is textual. Adjacent strings are merged by the low-level
 * tokenizer, so that the following effects occur: foo bar, baz // 2 elements, "foo
 * bar", and "baz" "foo" "bar", baz // 2 elements, "foobar", and "baz" Note that a
 * single intervening space is added between merged strings, unless they are both double
 * quoted. This extends to more than two strings in a row.
 * <P>
 * Whitespace is ignored, as in a C source file.
 * <P>
 * Solitary strings have the format:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    Tag { Data }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * This is indistinguishable from a comma-delimited list with only one element, and in
 * fact may be retrieved as such (as an array, or as element 0 or an array).
 * <P>
 * Comma-delimited lists have the format:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    Tag { Data, Data, Data }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Parsing is lenient; a final string, after the last element, is allowed.
 * <P>
 * Tagged lists have the format:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    Tag { Subtag { Data } Subtag {Data} }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Data is retrieved by specifying the subtag.
 * <P>
 * Two-dimensional arrays have the format:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    TwoD {
 *        { r1c1, r1c2, ..., r1cm },
 *        { r2c1, r2c2, ..., r2cm },
 *        ...
 *        { rnc1, rnc2, ..., rncm }
 *    }
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * where n is the number of rows, and m is the number of columns. Parsing is lenient (as
 * in other data types). A final comma is always allowed after the last element; either
 * the last string in a row, or the last row itself. Furthermore, since there is no
 * ambiguity, the commas between the rows are entirely optional. (However, if a comma is
 * present, there can only be one comma, no more.) It is possible to have zero columns,
 * as follows:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *    Odd { {} {} {} } // 3 x 0 array
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * But it is impossible to have zero rows. The smallest array is thus a 1 x 0 array,
 * which looks like this:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *   Smallest { {} } // 1 x 0 array
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * The array must be strictly rectangular; that is, each row must have the same number
 * of elements.
 * <P>
 * <H2>Usage model:</H2>
 * Resource bundles contain resources. In code, both types of entities are treated the
 * same and are represented with a same data structure <pre>UResourceBundle</pre>. 
 * Resource bundle has a tree structure, where leaf nodes can be strings, binaries 
 * and integers while non-leaf nodes (including the root node) can be tables and arrays.
 * One or more resource bundles are used to represent data needed by the application
 * for running in the particular locale. Complete set of resource bundles for an application
 * would contain all the data needed to run in intended locales. <P>
 * If the data for the requested locale is missing, an effort will be made to obtain most
 * usable data. This process is called fallback. Also, fallback happens when a resource 
 * is not present in the given bundle. Then, the other bundles in the fallback chain are
 * also searched for the requested resource.<P>
 * Retrieving data from resources is possible in several ways, depending on the type of
 * the resources:<P>
 * 1) Access by a key: this approach works only for table resources<P>
 * 2) Access by an index: tables and arrays can be addressed by an index<P>
 * 3) Iteration: works for tables and arrays<P>
 * To use data in resource bundles, following steps are needed:<P>
 * 1) opening a bundle for a particular locale:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *      UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *      UResourceBundle* resB = ures_open("/datadir/resources/GUI", "de_AT_EURO", &status);
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * Status allows, besides testing for plain error, to see whether fallback occured. There
 * are two extra non error values for status after this operation: U_USING_FALLBACK_ERROR,
 * which implies that the bundle for the requested locale was not found, but that one of
 * the bundles in the fallback chain was used (de_AT and de in this case) and
 * U_USING_DEFAULT_ERROR which implies that not one bundle in the fallback chain was found
 * and that default locale was used. In any case, 'root' locale is always at the end of the
 * chain.
 *
 * This is an example for using a possible custom resource:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *     const char *currentLocale;
 *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
 *     UResourceBundle* myResources=ures_open("MyResources", currentLocale, &success );
 * 
 *     UChar *button1Title, *button2Title;
 *     button1Title= ures_get(myResources, "OkKey", &success );
 *     button2Title= ures_get(myResources, "CancelKey", &success );
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
