  73  * <h3>Package specification</h3>
  74  * <p>
  75  * Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface
  76  * in this package will cause a {@link java.lang.NullPointerException NullPointerException} to be thrown.
  77  * The Javadoc "@param" definition is used to summarise the null-behavior.
  78  * The "@throws {@link java.lang.NullPointerException}" is not explicitly documented in each method.
  79  * </p>
  80  * <p>
  81  * All calculations should check for numeric overflow and throw either an {@link java.lang.ArithmeticException}
  82  * or a {@link java.time.DateTimeException}.
