/**
 * A field of date-time, such as month-of-year or hour-of-minute.
 *
 * Date and time is expressed using fields which partition the time-line into something
 * meaningful for humans. Implementations of this interface represent those fields.
 *
 * The most commonly used units are defined in {@link ChronoField}.
 * Further fields are supplied in {@link IsoFields}, {@link WeekFields} and {@link JulianFields}.
 * Fields can also be written by application code by implementing this interface.
 *
 * The field works using double dispatch. Client code calls methods on a date-time like
 * {@link LocalDateTime} which check if the field is a {@link ChronoField}.
 * If it is, then the date-time must handle it.
 * Otherwise, the method call is re-dispatched to the matching method in this interface.
