    69  * Strategy for subtracting from a temporal object.
       
    70  * <p>
       
    71  * Subtractors are a key tool for modifying temporal objects.
       
    72  * They exist to externalize the process of subtraction, permitting different
       
    73  * approaches, as per the strategy design pattern.
       
    74  * <p>
       
    75  * There are two equivalent ways of using a {@code TemporalSubtractor}.
       
    76  * The first is to invoke the method on this interface directly.
       
    77  * The second is to use {@link Temporal#minus(TemporalSubtractor)}:
       
    78  * <pre>
       
    79  *   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
       
    80  *   dateTime = subtractor.subtractFrom(dateTime);
       
    81  *   dateTime = dateTime.minus(subtractor);
       
    82  * </pre>
       
    83  * It is recommended to use the second approach, {@code minus(TemporalSubtractor)},
       
    84  * as it is a lot clearer to read in code.
       
    85  * <p>
       
    86  * The {@link Period} and {@link Duration} classes implement this interface.
       
    87  * Subtractors may also be defined by applications.
       
    88  *
       
    89  * <h3>Specification for implementors</h3>
       
    90  * This interface places no restrictions on the mutability of implementations,
       
    91  * however immutability is strongly recommended.

   114      * <h3>Specification for implementors</h3>
       
   115      * The implementation must take the input object and subtract from it.
       
   116      * The implementation defines the logic of the subtraction and is responsible for
       
   117      * documenting that logic. It may use any method on {@code Temporal} to
       
   118      * query the temporal object and perform the subtraction.
       
   119      * The returned object must have the same observable type as the input object
       
   120      * <p>
       
   121      * The input object must not be altered.
       
   122      * Instead, an adjusted copy of the original must be returned.
       
   123      * This provides equivalent, safe behavior for immutable and mutable temporal objects.
       
   124      * <p>
       
   125      * The input temporal object may be in a calendar system other than ISO.
       
   126      * Implementations may choose to document compatibility with other calendar systems,
       
   127      * or reject non-ISO temporal objects by {@link Queries#chrono() querying the chronology}.
       
   128      * <p>
       
   129      * This method may be called from multiple threads in parallel.
       
   130      * It must be thread-safe when invoked.

   133      * @return an object of the same observable type with the subtraction made, not null
       
   134      * @throws DateTimeException if unable to subtract
