/**
* Defines numbering systems. Put more description here.
* Defines numbering systems. A numbering system describes the scheme by which
* numbers are to be presented to the end user. In its simplest form, a numbering
* system describes the set of digit characters that are to be used to display
* numbers, such as Western digits, Thai digits, Arabic-Indic digits, etc.
* More complicated numbering systems are algorithmic in nature, and require use
* of an RBNF formatter ( rule based number formatter ), in order to calculate
* the characters to be displayed for a given number. Examples of algorithmic
* numbering systems include Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and Hebrew numerals.
* Formatting rules for many commonly used numbering systems are included in
* the ICU package, based on the numbering system rules defined in CLDR.
* Alternate numbering systems can be specified to a locale by using the
* numbers locale keyword.
