/**
* Defines a partial time that does not support every datetime field, and is
* thus a local time.
*
* A {@code ReadablePartial} supports a subset of those fields on the chronology.
* It cannot be compared to a {@code ReadableInstant}, as it does not fully
* specify an instant in time. The time it does specify is a local time, and does
* not include a time zone.
*
* A {@code ReadablePartial} can be converted to a {@code ReadableInstant}
* using the {@code toDateTime} method. This works by providing a full base
* instant that can be used to 'fill in the gaps' and specify a time zone.
*
* {@code ReadablePartial} is {@code Comparable} from v2.0.
* The comparison is based on the fields, compared in order, from largest to smallest.
* The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.
