/**
 * LocalDate is an immutable datetime class representing a date
 * without a time zone.
 * <p>
 * LocalDate implements the {@link ReadablePartial} interface.
 * To do this, the interface methods focus on the key fields -
 * Year, MonthOfYear and DayOfMonth.
 * However, <b>all</b> date fields may in fact be queried.
 * <p>
 * LocalDate differs from DateMidnight in that this class does not
 * have a time zone and does not represent a single instant in time.
 * <p>
 * Calculations on LocalDate are performed using a {@link Chronology}.
 * This chronology will be set internally to be in the UTC time zone
 * for all calculations.
 *
 * <p>Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>getMonthOfYear()</code>
 * <li><code>monthOfYear().get()</code>
 * </ul>
 * The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the
 * field:
 * <ul>
 * <li>numeric value
 * <li>text value
 * <li>short text value
 * <li>maximum/minimum values
 * <li>add/subtract
 * <li>set
 * <li>rounding
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * LocalDate is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well.
 * All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.
