1422658 - Extend mozIntl to handle NumberFormat, PluralRules and Collator

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Currently, mozIntl only provides the APIs for formatters that we extend functionality for, like DateTimeFormat, and for APIs not available on Intl yet.

But since one of the core functionalities that mozIntl provides over Intl is a better Gecko specific selection of locales, it would be nice to have all formatters available on mozIntl.

In particular, DownloadUtils currently use `Intl.NumberFormat()`[0], while it should use `mozIntl.NumberFormat()`.

If possible, it would also be *really* nice if we could get our IDL to handle classes to do `new mozIntl.NumberFormat` over `mozIntl.createNumberFormat` function.

This is a trivial patch which enables us to use Intl.* APIs with regional prefs locales. Currently we'll always use a single set, but in the future I imagine for some systems we may use different locales for DateTime (LC_TIME), and Number (LC_NUMERIC) etc.
