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  *
