Get IPublicHoliday by culture code

[gabriele-ricci-kyklos]

Is there any way to retrieve an IPublicHoliday based on a culture code like en-US?

It would be easy to write a simple factory method that did this.

        public IPublicHolidays Factory(CultureInfo culture)
        {
            switch (culture.Name)
            {
                case "en-US":
                    return new USAPublicHoliday();
                case "en-CA":
                    return new CanadaPublicHoliday();
                case "en-GB":
                    return new UKBankHoliday();
                default:
                    throw new InvalidOperationException("Culture not known or specified");
            }
        }

It becomes a bit more complex if you're dealing with regions (as in Canada), multi-language countries (Canada again), and regions that don't have an ISO culture code (Scotland, which has Scottish Gaelic gd-GB but not en-scot).

Also this library isn't really localized- hol.PublicHolidayNames() returns local names in the majority local language, but not language and regional variations (one exception is Belgium, where I did Flemish and French methods- and I still skipped German). To do this properly (and perhaps add language neutral variants) would be a major effort.

All right, I thought that there might be something already built-in into the lib but I'll do something as you described
