Package specification
Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface
in this package will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.
The Javadoc "@param" definition is used to summarise the null-behavior.
The "@throws NullPointerException" is not explicitly documented in each method.
All calculations should check for numeric overflow and throw either an ArithmeticException
or a DateTimeException.
