/**
 * Instant is the standard implementation of a fully immutable instant in time.
 * <p>
 * <code>Instant</code> is an implementation of {@link ReadableInstant}.
 * As with all instants, it represents an exact point on the time-line,
 * but limited to the precision of milliseconds. An <code>Instant</code>
 * should be used to represent a point in time irrespective of any other
 * factor, such as chronology or time zone.
 * <p>
 * Internally, the class holds one piece of data, the instant as milliseconds
 * from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
 * <p>
 * For example, an Instant can be used to compare two <code>DateTime</code>
 * objects irrespective of chronology or time zone.
 * <pre>
 * boolean sameInstant = dt1.toInstant().equals(dt2.toInstant());
 * </pre>
 * Note that the following code will also perform the same check:
 * <pre>
 * boolean sameInstant = dt1.isEqual(dt2);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Instant is thread-safe and immutable.
