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

* Calculates the amount of time between two temporal objects.

* This calculates the amount in terms of this unit. The start and end
* points are supplied as temporal objects and must be of compatible types.
* The implementation will convert the second type to be an instance of the
* first type before the calculating the amount.
* The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
* For example, the amount in hours between two temporal objects can be
* calculated using {@code HOURS.between(startTime, endTime)}.
* <p>
* The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of
* complete units between the two temporals.
* For example, the amount in hours between the times 11:30 and 13:29
* will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.
* <p>
* There are two equivalent ways of using this method.
* The first is to invoke this method directly.
* The second is to use {@link Temporal#until(Temporal, TemporalUnit)}:
* <pre>
* // these two lines are equivalent
* between = thisUnit.between(start, end);
* between = start.until(end, thisUnit);
* </pre>
* The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.
* <p>
* For example, this method allows the number of days between two dates to
* be calculated:
* <pre>
* long daysBetween = DAYS.between(start, end);

*
* @implSpec
* Implementations must begin by checking to if the two temporals have the

* obtained by calling {@code temporal1Inclusive.until(temporal2Exclusive, this)}.
