/**
 * DateTime is the standard implementation of an unmodifiable datetime class.
 * <p>
 * <code>DateTime</code> is the most widely used implementation of
 * {@link ReadableInstant}. As with all instants, it represents an exact
 * point on the time-line, but limited to the precision of milliseconds.
 * A <code>DateTime</code> calculates its fields with respect to a
 * {@link DateTimeZone time zone}.
 * <p>
 * Internally, the class holds two pieces of data. Firstly, it holds the
 * datetime as milliseconds from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
 * Secondly, it holds a {@link Chronology} which determines how the
 * millisecond instant value is converted into the date time fields.
 * The default Chronology is {@link ISOChronology} which is the agreed
 * international standard and compatible with the modern Gregorian calendar.
 * <p>
 * Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>getHourOfDay()</code>
 * <li><code>hourOfDay().get()</code>
 * </ul>
 * The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the
 * field:
 * <ul>
 * <li>numeric value
 * <li>text value
 * <li>short text value
 * <li>maximum/minimum values
 * <li>add/subtract
 * <li>set
 * <li>rounding
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * DateTime is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well.
 * All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.
