Use explicit language.

```
static func explicit(_ language: Locale.Language) -> TypesettingLanguage
```

## Parameters

`language`

The language to use for typesetting.

## Return Value

## Discussion

An explicit language will be used for typesetting. For example, if used
with Thai language the line heights will be as tall as needed to
accommodate Thai.
