Re: [icu-design] ICU4C API proposal: DecimalFormatSymbols::DecimalFormatSymbols()

[Markus S. <mar...@gm...>]

Dear ICU team & users,

It looks like I did not formally propose what we had discussed, so I would
like to now propose that we add the C++ API
DecimalFormatSymbols::createWithLastResortData(UErrorCode) as in
the attached email below.

Ticket: http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/7392
<http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/7392>Designated API reviewer:
Yoshito
Please provide feedback by next Wednesday, jun16.

Sincerely,
markus
