I would like to propose the following API for: ICU 77

Please provide feedback by: next Wednesday, 2024-mm-dd

Designated API reviewer: Markus

Ticket: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-<number>

<detailed API description with exact function signatures>

Example of detailed API

I would like to propose the following C++ Locale method for ICU 50:

    /**

     * Set the value for a keyword.

     *

     * @param keywordName name of the keyword to be set. Case insensitive.

     * @param keywordValue value of the keyword to be set. If 0-length or

     *  NULL, will result in the keyword being removed. No error is given if

     *  that keyword does not exist.

     * @param status Returns any error information while performing this operation.

     *

     * @draft ICU 50

     */

    void setKeywordValue(const char* keywordName, const char* keywordValue, UErrorCode &status);
