/**
 * MonthDay is an immutable partial supporting the monthOfYear and dayOfMonth fields.
 * <p>
 * NOTE: This class only supports the two fields listed above.
 * It is impossible to query any other fields, such as dayOfWeek or centuryOfEra.
 * <p>
 * Calculations on MonthDay are performed using a {@link Chronology}.
 * This chronology is set to be in the UTC time zone for all calculations.
 * <p>
 * One use case for this class is to store a birthday without the year (to avoid
 * storing the age of the person).
 * This class can be used as the gMonthDay type in XML Schema.
 * <p>
 * Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>getMonthOfYear()</code>
 * <li><code>monthOfYear().get()</code>
 * </ul>
 * The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the
 * field:
 * <ul>
 * <li>numeric value - <code>monthOfYear().get()</code>
 * <li>text value - <code>monthOfYear().getAsText()</code>
 * <li>short text value - <code>monthOfYear().getAsShortText()</code>
 * <li>maximum/minimum values - <code>monthOfYear().getMaximumValue()</code>
 * <li>add/subtract - <code>monthOfYear().addToCopy()</code>
 * <li>set - <code>monthOfYear().setCopy()</code>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * MonthDay is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well.
 * All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.
