+/**
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * <h3>Specification for implementors</h3>
+ * 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
