-     * reference locale is empty or null, it will match anything - in the form of LOCALE_FULL_MATCH
-     * if the tested locale is empty or null, and LOCALE_ANY_MATCH otherwise. If the reference and
-     * tested locale agree on the language, but not on the country,
-     * LOCALE_LANGUAGE_MATCH_COUNTRY_DIFFER is returned if the reference locale specifies a country,

-     * If they agree on both the language and the country, but not on the variant,

-     * specifies a variant, and LOCALE_LANGUAGE_AND_COUNTRY_MATCH otherwise. If everything matches,

-     * en <=> en_US  => LOCALE_LANGUAGE_MATCH

-     * en_US_POSIX <=> en_US_Android  =>  LOCALE_LANGUAGE_AND_COUNTRY_MATCH_VARIANT_DIFFER
