As of Firefox 153, I intend to turn Intl.LocaleInfo on by default. It has been developed behind the javascript.options.experimental.intl_locale_info preference. Our implementation was contributed by André Bargull, thanks Anba!

Summary:
Intl.LocaleInfo adds locale-specific information APIs to Intl.Locale, including week data, text direction, hour cycle, calendars, collations, numbering systems, and measurement systems. This improves interoperability and enables web developers to build better locale-aware experiences without relying on CLDR data.
