/**
 * A calendar system, used to organize and identify dates.
 * <p>
 * The main date and time API is built on the ISO calendar system.
 * The chronology operates behind the scenes to represent the general concept of a calendar system.
 * For example, the Japanese, Minguo, Thai Buddhist and others.
 * <p>
 * Most other calendar systems also operate on the shared concepts of year, month and day,
 * linked to the cycles of the Earth around the Sun, and the Moon around the Earth.
 * These shared concepts are defined by {@link ChronoField} and are available
 * for use by any {@code Chronology} implementation:
 * <pre>
 *   LocalDate isoDate = ...
 *   ThaiBuddhistDate thaiDate = ...
 *   int isoYear = isoDate.get(ChronoField.YEAR);
 *   int thaiYear = thaiDate.get(ChronoField.YEAR);
 * </pre>
 * As shown, although the date objects are in different calendar systems, represented by different
 * {@code Chronology} instances, both can be queried using the same constant on {@code ChronoField}.
 * For a full discussion of the implications of this, see {@link ChronoLocalDate}.
 * In general, the advice is to use the known ISO-based {@code LocalDate}, rather than
 * {@code ChronoLocalDate}.
 * <p>
 * While a {@code Chronology} object typically uses {@code ChronoField} and is based on
 * an era, year-of-era, month-of-year, day-of-month model of a date, this is not required.
 * A {@code Chronology} instance may represent a totally different kind of calendar system,
 * such as the Mayan.
 * <p>
 * In practical terms, the {@code Chronology} instance also acts as a factory.
 * The {@link #of(String)} method allows an instance to be looked up by identifier,
 * while the {@link #ofLocale(Locale)} method allows lookup by locale.
 * <p>
 * The {@code Chronology} instance provides a set of methods to create {@code ChronoLocalDate} instances.
 * The date classes are used to manipulate specific dates.
 * <ul>
 * <li> {@link #dateNow() dateNow()}
 * <li> {@link #dateNow(Clock) dateNow(clock)}
 * <li> {@link #dateNow(ZoneId) dateNow(zone)}
 * <li> {@link #date(int, int, int) date(yearProleptic, month, day)}
 * <li> {@link #date(Era, int, int, int) date(era, yearOfEra, month, day)}
 * <li> {@link #dateYearDay(int, int) dateYearDay(yearProleptic, dayOfYear)}
 * <li> {@link #dateYearDay(Era, int, int) dateYearDay(era, yearOfEra, dayOfYear)}
 * <li> {@link #date(TemporalAccessor) date(TemporalAccessor)}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2 id="addcalendars">Adding New Calendars</h2>
 * The set of available chronologies can be extended by applications.
 * Adding a new calendar system requires the writing of an implementation of
 * {@code Chronology}, {@code ChronoLocalDate} and {@code Era}.
 * The majority of the logic specific to the calendar system will be in the
 * {@code ChronoLocalDate} implementation.
 * The {@code Chronology} implementation acts as a factory.
 * <p>
 * To permit the discovery of additional chronologies, the {@link java.util.ServiceLoader ServiceLoader}
 * is used. A file must be added to the {@code META-INF/services} directory with the
 * name 'java.time.chrono.Chronology' listing the implementation classes.
 * See the ServiceLoader for more details on service loading.
 * For lookup by id or calendarType, the system provided calendars are found
 * first followed by application provided calendars.
 * <p>
 * Each chronology must define a chronology ID that is unique within the system.
 * If the chronology represents a calendar system defined by the
 * CLDR specification then the calendar type is the concatenation of the
 * CLDR type and, if applicable, the CLDR variant.
 *
 * @implSpec
 * 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.
 * Subclasses should be Serializable wherever possible.
 *
 * @since 1.8

     * This returns a {@code Chronology} based on the specified locale,
     * typically returning {@code IsoChronology}. Other calendar systems
     * are only returned if they are explicitly selected within the locale.
     * <p>
     * The {@link Locale} class provide access to a range of information useful
     * for localizing an application. This includes the language and region,
     * such as "en-GB" for English as used in Great Britain.
     * <p>
     * The {@code Locale} class also supports an extension mechanism that
     * can be used to identify a calendar system. The mechanism is a form
     * of key-value pairs, where the calendar system has the key "ca".
     * For example, the locale "en-JP-u-ca-japanese" represents the English
     * language as used in Japan with the Japanese calendar system.
     * <p>
     * This method finds the desired calendar system in a manner equivalent
     * to passing "ca" to {@link Locale#getUnicodeLocaleType(String)}.
     * If the "ca" key is not present, then {@code IsoChronology} is returned.
     * <p>
     * Note that the behavior of this method differs from the older
     * {@link java.util.Calendar#getInstance(Locale)} method.
     * If that method receives a locale of "th_TH" it will return {@code BuddhistCalendar}.
     * By contrast, this method will return {@code IsoChronology}.
     * Passing the locale "th-TH-u-ca-buddhist" into either method will
     * result in the Thai Buddhist calendar system and is therefore the
     * recommended approach going forward for Thai calendar system localization.
     * <p>
     * A similar, but simpler, situation occurs for the Japanese calendar system.
     * The locale "jp_JP_JP" has previously been used to access the calendar.
     * However, unlike the Thai locale, "ja_JP_JP" is automatically converted by
     * {@code Locale} to the modern and recommended form of "ja-JP-u-ca-japanese".
     * Thus, there is no difference in behavior between this method and
