+        //   This test avoids returning empty arrays.
+        // - On the other hand, for month names it's OK to not have month 13,
+        //   but this should be indicated by an empty string for compatibility
+        //   with JRE resource bundles.
+        // - Finally, CLDR doesn't really have string arrays; each string is
+        //   supposed to be inherited separately. Although value is the partially filled array,
+        //   we will return it so that it can be reconstructed later in the method,
+        //   ConvertLocaleData.convertBundles()
