	/**
	* A date-based amount of time in the ISO-8601 calendar system,
	* such as '2 years, 3 months and 4 days'.
	* <p>
	* This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of years, months and days.
	* See {@link Duration} for the time-based equivalent to this class.
	* <p>
	* Durations and periods differ in their treatment of daylight savings time
	* when added to {@link ZonedDateTime}. A {@code Duration} will add an exact
	* number of seconds, thus a duration of one day is always exactly 24 hours.
	* By contrast, a {@code Period} will add a conceptual day, trying to maintain
	* the local time.
	* <p>
	* For example, consider adding a period of one day and a duration of one day to
	* 18:00 on the evening before a daylight savings gap. The {@code Period} will add
	* the conceptual day and result in a {@code ZonedDateTime} at 18:00 the following day.
	* By contrast, the {@code Duration} will add exactly 24 hours, resulting in a
	* {@code ZonedDateTime} at 19:00 the following day (assuming a one hour DST gap).
	* <p>
	* The supported units of a period are {@link ChronoUnit#YEARS YEARS},
	* {@link ChronoUnit#MONTHS MONTHS} and {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS DAYS}.
	* All three fields are always present, but may be set to zero.
	* <p>
	* The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
	* in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
	* system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
	* <p>
	* The period is modeled as a directed amount of time, meaning that individual parts of the
	* period may be negative.
	*
	* <p>
	* This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>
	* class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality
	* ({@code ==}), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of
	* {@code Period} may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.
	* The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
	*
	* @implSpec
	* This class is immutable and thread-safe.
