   <simpara>
    Localized software products often require sets of data that are to be customized
    depending on current locale, e.g.: messages, labels, formatting patterns. ICU 
    resource mechanism allows to define sets of resources that the application can 
    load on locale basis, while accessing them in unified locale-independent fashion.
   </simpara>
   <simpara>
    This class implements access to ICU resource data files. These files are binary data
    arrays which ICU uses to store the localized data. 
   </simpara>
   <simpara>
    ICU resource bundle can hold simple resources and complex resources. Complex resources
    are containers which can be either integer-indexed or string-indexed (just like PHP arrays).
    Simple resources can be of the following types: string, integer, binary data field 
    or integer array.
   </simpara>
   <simpara>
    <classname>ResourceBundle</classname> supports direct access to the data through array access
    pattern and iteration via <link linkend="control-structures.foreach">foreach</link>,
    as well as access via class methods. The result will be PHP value for simple resources and
    <classname>ResourceBundle</classname> object for complex ones. All resources are read-only.
