/**
* Chronology provides access to the individual date time fields for a
* chronological calendar system.
* <p>
* Various chronologies are supported by subclasses including ISO
* and GregorianJulian. To construct a Chronology you should use the
* factory methods on the chronology subclass in the chrono package.
* <p>
* For example, to obtain the current time in the coptic calendar system:
* <pre>
* DateTime dt = new DateTime(CopticChronology.getInstance());
* </pre>
* <p>
* The provided chronology implementations are:
* <ul>
* <li>ISO - Based on the ISO8601 standard and suitable for use after about 1600
* <li>GJ - Historically accurate calendar with Julian followed by Gregorian
* <li>Gregorian - The Gregorian calendar system used for all time (proleptic)
* <li>Julian - The Julian calendar system used for all time (proleptic)
* <li>Buddhist - The Buddhist calendar system which is an offset in years from GJ
* <li>Coptic - The Coptic calendar system which defines 30 day months
* <li>Ethiopic - The Ethiopic calendar system which defines 30 day months
* </ul>
* Hopefully future releases will contain more chronologies.
* <p>
* This class defines a number of fields with names from the ISO8601 standard.
* It does not 'strongly' define these fields however, thus implementations
* are free to interpret the field names as they wish.
* For example, a week could be defined as 10 days and a month as 40 days in a
* special WeirdChronology implementation. Clearly the GJ and ISO
* implementations provided use the field names as you would expect.
