/**
 * DateMidnight defines a date where the time component is fixed at midnight.
 * The class uses a time zone, thus midnight is local unless a UTC time zone is used.
 * <p>
 * It is important to emphasise that this class represents the time of midnight on
 * any given day.
 * Note that midnight is defined as 00:00, which is at the very start of a day.
 * <p>
 * This class does not represent a day, but the millisecond instant at midnight.
 * If you need a class that represents the whole day, then an {@link Interval} or
 * a {@link LocalDate} may be more suitable.
 * <p>
 * This class uses a Chronology internally. The Chronology determines how the
 * millisecond instant value is converted into the date time fields.
 * The default Chronology is <code>ISOChronology</code> which is the agreed
 * international standard and compatable with the modern Gregorian calendar.
 *
 * <p>Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>getDayOfMonth()</code>
 * <li><code>dayOfMonth().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>
 * DateMidnight is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well.
 * All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.
