/**
* 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
* {@code LocalDateTime} which check if the field is a {@code 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.
*
*
Specification for implementors
* This interface must be implemented with care to ensure other classes operate correctly.
* All implementations that can be instantiated must be final, immutable and thread-safe.
* Implementations should be {@code Serializable} where possible.
* An enum is as effective implementation choice.
