/**
 * <p>
 * The main API for dates, times, instants, and durations.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The classes defined here represent the principal date-time concepts,
 * including instants, durations, dates, times, time-zones and periods.
 * They are based on the ISO calendar system, which is the <i>de facto</i> world
 * calendar following the proleptic Gregorian rules.
 * All the classes are immutable and thread-safe.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Each date time instance is composed of fields that are conveniently
 * made available by the APIs.  For lower level access to the fields refer
 * to the {@code java.time.temporal} package.
 * Each class includes support for printing and parsing all manner of dates and times.
 * Refer to the {@code java.time.format} package for customization options.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The {@code java.time.chrono} package contains the calendar neutral API
 * {@link java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate ChronoLocalDate},
 * {@link java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDateTime ChronoLocalDateTime},
 * {@link java.time.chrono.ChronoZonedDateTime ChronoZonedDateTime} and
 * {@link java.time.chrono.Era Era}.
 * This is intended for use by applications that need to use localized calendars.
 * It is recommended that applications use the ISO-8601 date and time classes from
 * this package across system boundaries, such as to the database or across the network.
 * The calendar neutral API should be reserved for interactions with users.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Dates and Times</h3>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.Instant} is essentially a numeric timestamp.
 * The current Instant can be retrieved from a {@link java.time.Clock}.
 * This is useful for logging and persistence of a point in time
 * and has in the past been associated with storing the result
 * from {@link java.lang.System#currentTimeMillis()}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.LocalDate} stores a date without a time.
 * This stores a date like '2010-12-03' and could be used to store a birthday.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.LocalTime} stores a time without a date.
 * This stores a time like '11:30' and could be used to store an opening or closing time.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.LocalDateTime} stores a date and time.
 * This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.ZonedDateTime} stores a date and time with a time-zone.
 * This is useful if you want to perform accurate calculations of
 * dates and times taking into account the {@link java.time.ZoneId}, such as 'Europe/Paris'.
 * Where possible, it is recommended to use a simpler class without a time-zone.
 * The widespread use of time-zones tends to add considerable complexity to an application.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Duration and Period</h3>
 * <p>
 * Beyond dates and times, the API also allows the storage of period and durations of time.
 * A {@link java.time.Duration} is a simple measure of time along the time-line in nanoseconds.
 * A {@link java.time.Period} expresses an amount of time in units meaningful to humans, such as years or hours.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Additional value types</h3>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.Month} stores a month on its own.
 * This stores a single month-of-year in isolation, such as 'DECEMBER'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.DayOfWeek} stores a day-of-week on its own.
 * This stores a single day-of-week in isolation, such as 'TUESDAY'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.Year} stores a year on its own.
 * This stores a single year in isolation, such as '2010'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.YearMonth} stores a year and month without a day or time.
 * This stores a year and month, such as '2010-12' and could be used for a credit card expiry.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.MonthDay} stores a month and day without a year or time.
 * This stores a month and day-of-month, such as '--12-03' and
 * could be used to store an annual event like a birthday without storing the year.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.OffsetTime} stores a time and offset from UTC without a date.
 * This stores a date like '11:30+01:00'.
 * The {@link java.time.ZoneOffset ZoneOffset} is of the form '+01:00'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link java.time.OffsetDateTime} stores a date and time and offset from UTC.
 * This stores a date-time like '2010-12-03T11:30+01:00'.
 * This is sometimes found in XML messages and other forms of persistence,
 * but contains less information than a full time-zone.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Package specification</h3>
 * <p>
 * Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface
 * in this package will cause a {@link java.lang.NullPointerException NullPointerException} to be thrown.
 * The Javadoc "@param" definition is used to summarise the null-behavior.
 * The "@throws {@link java.lang.NullPointerException}" is not explicitly documented in each method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * All calculations should check for numeric overflow and throw either an {@link java.lang.ArithmeticException}
 * or a {@link java.time.DateTimeException}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Design notes (non normative)</h3>
 * <p>
 * The API has been designed to reject null early and to be clear about this behavior.
 * A key exception is any method that takes an object and returns a boolean, for the purpose
 * of checking or validating, will generally return false for null.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The API is designed to be type-safe where reasonable in the main high-level API.
 * Thus, there are separate classes for the distinct concepts of date, time and date-time,
 * plus variants for offset and time-zone.
 * This can seem like a lot of classes, but most applications can begin with just five date/time types.
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link java.time.Instant} - a timestamp</li>
 * <li>{@link java.time.LocalDate} - a date without a time, or any reference to an offset or time-zone</li>
 * <li>{@link java.time.LocalTime} - a time without a date, or any reference to an offset or time-zone</li>
 * <li>{@link java.time.LocalDateTime} - combines date and time, but still without any offset or time-zone</li>
 * <li>{@link java.time.ZonedDateTime} - a "full" date-time with time-zone and resolved offset from UTC/Greenwich</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * {@code Instant} is the closest equivalent class to {@code java.util.Date}.
 * {@code ZonedDateTime} is the closest equivalent class to {@code java.util.GregorianCalendar}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Where possible, applications should use {@code LocalDate}, {@code LocalTime} and {@code LocalDateTime}
 * to better model the domain. For example, a birthday should be stored in a code {@code LocalDate}.
 * Bear in mind that any use of a {@linkplain java.time.ZoneId time-zone}, such as 'Europe/Paris', adds
 * considerable complexity to a calculation.
 * Many applications can be written only using {@code LocalDate}, {@code LocalTime} and {@code Instant},
 * with the time-zone added at the user interface (UI) layer.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The offset-based date-time types {@code OffsetTime} and {@code OffsetDateTime},
 * are intended primarily for use with network protocols and database access.
 * For example, most databases cannot automatically store a time-zone like 'Europe/Paris', but
 * they can store an offset like '+02:00'.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Classes are also provided for the most important sub-parts of a date, including {@code Month},
 * {@code DayOfWeek}, {@code Year}, {@code YearMonth} and {@code MonthDay}.
 * These can be used to model more complex date-time concepts.
 * For example, {@code YearMonth} is useful for representing a credit card expiry.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Note that while there are a large number of classes representing different aspects of dates,
 * there are relatively few dealing with different aspects of time.
 * Following type-safety to its logical conclusion would have resulted in classes for
 * hour-minute, hour-minute-second and hour-minute-second-nanosecond.
 * While logically pure, this was not a practical option as it would have almost tripled the
 * number of classes due to the combinations of date and time.
 * Thus, {@code LocalTime} is used for all precisions of time, with zeroes used to imply lower precision.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Following full type-safety to its ultimate conclusion might also argue for a separate class
 * for each field in date-time, such as a class for HourOfDay and another for DayOfMonth.
 * This approach was tried, but was excessively complicated in the Java language, lacking usability.
 * A similar problem occurs with periods.
 * There is a case for a separate class for each period unit, such as a type for Years and a type for Minutes.
 * However, this yields a lot of classes and a problem of type conversion.
 * Thus, the set of date-time types provided is a compromise between purity and practicality.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The API has a relatively large surface area in terms of number of methods.
 * This is made manageable through the use of consistent method prefixes.
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code of} - static factory method</li>
 * <li>{@code parse} - static factory method focussed on parsing</li>
 * <li>{@code get} - gets the value of something</li>
 * <li>{@code is} - checks if something is true</li>
 * <li>{@code with} - the immutable equivalent of a setter</li>
 * <li>{@code plus} - adds an amount to an object</li>
 * <li>{@code minus} - subtracts an amount from an object</li>
 * <li>{@code to} - converts this object to another type</li>
 * <li>{@code at} - combines this object with another, such as {@code date.atTime(time)}</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Multiple calendar systems is an awkward addition to the design challenges.
 * The first principal is that most users want the standard ISO calendar system.
 * As such, the main classes are ISO-only. The second principal is that most of those that want a
 * non-ISO calendar system want it for user interaction, thus it is a UI localization issue.
 * As such, date and time objects should be held as ISO objects in the data model and persistent
 * storage, only being converted to and from a local calendar for display.
 * The calendar system would be stored separately in the user preferences.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * There are, however, some limited use cases where users believe they need to store and use
