/**
 * A date-based amount of time, such as '2 years, 3 months and 4 days'.
 *
 * 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.
 *
 * Durations and period differ in their treatment of daylight savings time
 * when added to {@link ZonedDateTime}. A {@link Duration} will add an exact
 * number of seconds, thus a duration of one day is always exactly 24 hours.
 * By contrast, a {@link Period} will add a conceptual day, trying to maintain
 * the local time.
 *
 * 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 {@link Period} will add
 * the conceptual day and result in a {@link ZonedDateTime} at 18:00 the following day.
 * By contrast, the {@link Duration} will add exactly 24 hours, resulting in a
 * {@link ZonedDateTime} at 19:00 the following day (assuming a one hour DST gap).
 *
 * The supported units of a period are {@link ChronoUnit#YEARS},
 * {@link ChronoUnit#MONTHS} and {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS}.
 * All three fields are always present, but may be set to zero.
 *
 * The period may be used with any calendar system.
 * The meaning of a 'year' or 'month' is only applied when the object is added to a date.
 *
 * The period is modeled as a directed amount of time, meaning that individual parts of the
 * period may be negative.
 *
 * The months and years fields may be normalized (see {@link normalized}).
 * The normalization assumes a 12 month year, so is not appropriate for all calendar systems.
 *
 * ### Static properties of Class {@link Period}
 *
 * Period.ZERO
 *
 * A constant for a period of zero.
