// Tag Matching
// CLDR defines an algorithm for finding the best match between two sets of language
// tags. The basic algorithm defines how to score a possible match and then find
// the match with the best score
// (see https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#LanguageMatching).
// Using scoring has several disadvantages. The scoring obfuscates the importance of
// the various factors considered, making the algorithm harder to understand. Using
// scoring also requires the full score to be computed for each pair of tags.
//
// We will use a different algorithm which aims to have the following properties:
// - clarity on the precedence of the various selection factors, and
// - improved performance by allowing early termination of a comparison.
//
// Matching algorithm (overview)
// Input:
// - supported: a set of supported tags
// - default: the default tag to return in case there is no match
// - desired: list of desired tags, ordered by preference, starting with
// the most-preferred.
//
// Algorithm:
// 1) Set the best match to the lowest confidence level
// 2) For each tag in "desired":
// a) For each tag in "supported":
// 1) compute the match between the two tags.
// 2) if the match is better than the previous best match, replace it
// with the new match. (see next section)
// b) if the current best match is Exact and pin is true the result will be
// frozen to the language found thusfar, although better matches may
// still be found for the same language.
// 3) If the best match so far is below a certain threshold, return "default".
//
// Ranking:
// We use two phases to determine whether one pair of tags are a better match
// than another pair of tags. First, we determine a rough confidence level. If the
// levels are different, the one with the highest confidence wins.
// Second, if the rough confidence levels are identical, we use a set of tie-breaker
// rules.
//
// The confidence level of matching a pair of tags is determined by finding the
// lowest confidence level of any matches of the corresponding subtags (the
// result is deemed as good as its weakest link).
// We define the following levels:
// Exact - An exact match of a subtag, before adding likely subtags.
// MaxExact - An exact match of a subtag, after adding likely subtags.
// [See Note 2].
// High - High level of mutual intelligibility between different subtag
// variants.
// Low - Low level of mutual intelligibility between different subtag
// variants.
// No - No mutual intelligibility.
//
// The following levels can occur for each type of subtag:
// Base: Exact, MaxExact, High, Low, No
// Script: Exact, MaxExact [see Note 3], Low, No
// Region: Exact, MaxExact, High
// Variant: Exact, High
// Private: Exact, No
//
// Any result with a confidence level of Low or higher is deemed a possible match.
// Once a desired tag matches any of the supported tags with a level of MaxExact
// or higher, the next desired tag is not considered (see Step 2.b).
// Note that CLDR provides languageMatching data that defines close equivalence
// classes for base languages, scripts and regions.
//
// Tie-breaking
// If we get the same confidence level for two matches, we apply a sequence of
// tie-breaking rules. The first that succeeds defines the result. The rules are
// applied in the following order.
// 1) Original language was defined and was identical.
// 2) Original region was defined and was identical.
// 3) Distance between two maximized regions was the smallest.
// 4) Original script was defined and was identical.
// 5) Distance from want tag to have tag using the parent relation [see Note 5.]
// If there is still no winner after these rules are applied, the first match
// found wins.
//
// Notes:
// [2] In practice, as matching of Exact is done in a separate phase from
// matching the other levels, we reuse the Exact level to mean MaxExact in
// the second phase. As a consequence, we only need the levels defined by
// the Confidence type. The MaxExact confidence level is mapped to High in
// the public API.
// [3] We do not differentiate between maximized script values that were derived
// from suppressScript versus most likely tag data. We determined that in
// ranking the two, one ranks just after the other. Moreover, the two cannot
// occur concurrently. As a consequence, they are identical for practical
// purposes.
// [4] In case of deprecated, macro-equivalents and legacy mappings, we assign
// the MaxExact level to allow iw vs he to still be a closer match than
// en-AU vs en-US, for example.
// [5] In CLDR a locale inherits fields that are unspecified for this locale
// from its parent. Therefore, if a locale is a parent of another locale,
// it is a strong measure for closeness, especially when no other tie
// breaker rule applies. One could also argue it is inconsistent, for
// example, when pt-AO matches pt (which CLDR equates with pt-BR), even
// though its parent is pt-PT according to the inheritance rules.
//
// Implementation Details:
// There are several performance considerations worth pointing out. Most notably,
// we preprocess as much as possible (within reason) at the time of creation of a
// matcher. This includes:
// - creating a per-language map, which includes data for the raw base language
// and its canonicalized variant (if applicable),
// - expanding entries for the equivalence classes defined in CLDR's
// languageMatch data.
// The per-language map ensures that typically only a very small number of tags
// need to be considered. The pre-expansion of canonicalized subtags and
// equivalence classes reduces the amount of map lookups that need to be done at
// runtime.
// matcher keeps a set of supported language tags, indexed by language.
