72/**
73 * A unit of date-time, such as Days or Hours.
74 * <p>
75 * Measurement of time is built on units, such as years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
76 * Implementations of this interface represent those units.
77 * <p>
78 * An instance of this interface represents the unit itself, rather than an amount of the unit.
79 * See {@link Period} for a class that represents an amount in terms of the common units.
80 * <p>
81 * The most commonly used units are defined in {@link ChronoUnit}.
82 * Further units are supplied in {@link IsoFields}.
83 * Units can also be written by application code by implementing this interface.
84 * <p>
85 * The unit works using double dispatch. Client code calls methods on a date-time like
86 * {@code LocalDateTime} which check if the unit is a {@code ChronoUnit}.
87 * If it is, then the date-time must handle it.
88 * Otherwise, the method call is re-dispatched to the matching method in this interface.
89 *
90 * @implSpec
91 * This interface must be implemented with care to ensure other classes operate correctly.
92 * All implementations that can be instantiated must be final, immutable and thread-safe.
93 * It is recommended to use an enum where possible.
94 *
95 * @since 1.8
