/**
* Defines an instant in the datetime continuum.
* This interface expresses the datetime as milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
*
* The implementation of this interface may be mutable or immutable.
* This interface only gives access to retrieve data, never to change it.
*
* Methods in your application should be defined using ReadableInstant
* as a parameter if the method only wants to read the instant without needing to know
* the specific datetime fields.
*
* The {@code compareTo} method is no longer defined in this class in version 2.0.
* Instead, the definition is simply inherited from the {@code Comparable} interface.
* This approach is necessary to preserve binary compatibility.
* The definition of the comparison is ascending order by millisecond instant.
* Implementors are recommended to extend {@code AbstractInstant} instead of this interface.
