Description
The Standard C++ Localization library provides a locale interface that contains a collection of diverse facets. Each facet provides localization facilities for some specific area, such as character classification or numeric formatting. Each facet also falls into one or more broad categories. These categories are defined in the locale class, and the standard facets fit into these categories as follows.

A facet must satisfy two properties. First, it must be derived from the base class locale::facet, either directly or indirectly (for example, facet -> ctype<char> -> my_ctype). Second, it must contain a member of type locale::id. This ensures that the locale class can manage its collection of facets properly.
