get rid of extra whitespace (one or 2 lines only)

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done.

+   * TODO(alanknight) Actually make this class do something with locales, just a skeleton right now.

line break this line so it's less than 80 char

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done.

+   var _locale;
+
+   /**
+    * Constructor

+   Intl();

[Emily Fortuna, 2012/06/02 01:19:26]

How about instead of the named constructor, do:
Intl([this._locale]);

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Ah, I didn't realize you could do that without making them specify the name of
the argument when calling it. Cool.

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Cool. I didn't realize you could do that without forcing people to use the
parameter name when calling it. Done.

+   Intl.locale(this._locale);

+   /**
+    * Methods to return appropriate format objects.

nits: ending comment line is */ not **/ (yes, we're that picky)

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done.

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done. And fixed in various other places.

+   get date() => new DateFormat.date();
+   get time() => new DateFormat.time();
+   get dateTime() => new DateFormat.dateTime();
+   get message() => new MessageFormat();
+

extra whitespace

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done.

+   /**
+    * Support methods for message formatting.
+   **/
+   String plural(num howMany, Map actions) {

[Emily Fortuna, 2012/06/02 01:19:26]

Can we add a select method, here, too? It can be dumb and defer to the plural
method or whatever, but let's just make it available.

[Alan Knight, 2012/06/02 02:19:44]

Done. Also added a check to plural that if the 'other' case is missing, we
return an empty string, which is also the fallback in select.

+      var desiredKey = howMany.toString();
+      for (var key in actions.getKeys()) {
+        if(desiredKey == key) {return actions[key];}
+      }
+      return actions['other'];
+   }
+}
