        //   am/pm arrays may be created for which there was no real data.
        //   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()
        //   The CLDR's iheritance system is different from JRE's. CLDR can inherit
        //   by the element level in the array.
