/**
 * Framework-level interface defining an amount of time, such as
 * "6 hours", "8 days" or "2 years and 3 months".
 *
 * This is the base interface type for amounts of time.
 * An amount is distinct from a date or time-of-day in that it is not tied
 * to any specific point on the time-line.
 *
 * The amount can be thought of as a {@link Map} of {@link TemporalUnit} to
 * `long`, exposed via {@link getUnits} and {@link get}.
 * A simple case might have a single unit-value pair, such as "6 hours".
 * A more complex case may have multiple unit-value pairs, such as
 * "7 years, 3 months and 5 days".
 *
 * There are two common implementations.
 * {@link Period} is a date-based implementation, storing years, months and days.
 * {@link Duration} is a time-based implementation, storing seconds and nanoseconds,
 * but providing some access using other duration based units such as minutes,
 * hours and fixed 24-hour days.
 *
 * This interface is a framework-level interface that should not be widely
 * used in application code. Instead, applications should create and pass
 * around instances of concrete types, such as {@link Period} and {@link Duration}.
