Values of type messages_base::catalogusable as arguments to members get and closecan be obtained only by calling member open.

catalog open(const string& name, const locale& loc) const;
Returns: do_open(name, loc).
string_type get(catalog cat, int set, int msgid, const string_type& dfault) const;
Returns: do_get(cat, set, msgid, dfault).
void close(catalog cat) const;
Effects: Calls do_close(cat).
28.3.4.8.2.3 Virtual functions [locale.messages.virtuals]
catalog do_open(const string& name, const locale& loc) const;
Returns: A value that may be passed to get()to retrieve a message from the message catalog identified by the string nameaccording to an implementation-defined mapping.
The result can be used until it is passed to close().
Returns a value less than 0 if no such catalog can be opened.
Remarks: The locale argument loc is used for character set code conversion when retrieving messages, if needed.
string_type do_get(catalog cat, int set, int msgid, const string_type& dfault) const;
Preconditions: cat is a catalog obtained from open() and not yet closed.
Returns: A message identified by arguments set, msgid, and dfault, according to an implementation-defined mapping.
If no such message can be found, returns dfault.
void do_close(catalog cat) const;
Preconditions: cat is a catalog obtained from open() and not yet closed.
Effects: Releases unspecified resources associated with cat.
Remarks: The limit on such resources, if any, isimplementation-defined.
