/**
 * A month-day in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as {@code --12-03}.
 * <p>
 * {@code MonthDay} is an immutable date-time object that represents the combination
 * of a month and day-of-month. Any field that can be derived from a month and day,
 * such as quarter-of-year, can be obtained.
 * <p>
 * This class does not store or represent a year, time or time-zone.
 * For example, the value "December 3rd" can be stored in a {@code MonthDay}.
 * <p>
 * Since a {@code MonthDay} does not possess a year, the leap day of
 * February 29th is considered valid.
 * <p>
 * This class implements {@link TemporalAccessor} rather than {@link Temporal}.
 * This is because it is not possible to define whether February 29th is valid or not
 * without external information, preventing the implementation of plus/minus.
 * Related to this, {@code MonthDay} only provides access to query and set the fields
 * {@code MONTH_OF_YEAR} and {@code DAY_OF_MONTH}.
 * <p>
 * The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
 * in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
 * system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
 * For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable.
 * However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them
 * to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.
 *
 * @implSpec
 * This class is immutable and thread-safe.
 *
 * @since 1.8
