67  * Strategy for querying a temporal object.
68  * <p>
69  * Queries are a key tool for extracting information from temporal objects.
70  * They exist to externalize the process of querying, permitting different
71  * approaches, as per the strategy design pattern.
72  * Examples might be a query that checks if the date is the day before February 29th
73  * in a leap year, or calculates the number of days to your next birthday.
74  * <p>
75  * The {@link TemporalField} interface provides another mechanism for querying
76  * temporal objects. That interface is limited to returning a {@code long}.
77  * By contrast, queries can return any type.
78  * <p>
79  * There are two equivalent ways of using a {@code TemporalQuery}.
80  * The first is to invoke the method on this interface directly.
81  * The second is to use {@link TemporalAccessor#query(TemporalQuery)}:
82  * <pre>
83  *   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
84  *   temporal = thisQuery.queryFrom(temporal);
85  *   temporal = temporal.query(thisQuery);
86  * </pre>
87  * It is recommended to use the second approach, {@code query(TemporalQuery)},
88  * as it is a lot clearer to read in code.
89  * <p>
90  * The most common implementations are method references, such as
91  * {@code LocalDate::from} and {@code ZoneId::from}.
92  * Additional common queries are provided as static methods in {@link TemporalQueries}.
93  *
94  * @implSpec
95  * This interface places no restrictions on the mutability of implementations,
96  * however immutability is strongly recommended.
97  *
98  * @param <R> the type returned from the query
99  *
100  * @since 1.8
