Returns the resources for the current request.
Returns the resources for the current request. In development
mode, these resources will be reloaded on each request. In
production mode, the resources will be cached (up to 2000
resource bundles will be cached).
The resource bundles will be loaded using Templates and converted
via BundleBuilder. The routine will search for resources given the
current Locale (see S.locale). If the current path is /foo/bar,
the files /foo/_resources_bar, /templates-hidden/foo/_resources_bar,
and /foo/resources-hidden/_resources_bar will be searched. The
search will be based on the Templates locale search rules.
In addition to page-specific resources, there are global resources searched
in /_resources, /templates-hidden/_resources, and
/resources-hidden/_resources.
This resource loading mechanism offers global and per-page localization. It's based on the template loading mechanism so that localization is stored in UTF-8 and as XML so there's no wacky encoding or compilation as is necessary with standard Java resource bundles. Further, the per-page resources are available right next to the pages themselves in the source tree, so it's easier to remember to update the localization.

Many routines in Lift can be customized in LiftRules, but have default behaviors. This singleton contains the default routines. **DO NOT** call these methods directly. Use LiftRules to call them. So, why make them public? So, we can document the default behaviors.
