/// An instant in time, such as July 20, 1969, 8:18pm GMT.
///
/// DateTimes can represent time values that are at a distance of at most
/// 100,000,000 days from epoch (1970-01-01 UTC): -271821-04-20 to 275760-09-13.
///
/// Create a DateTime object by using one of the constructors
/// or by parsing a correctly formatted string,
/// which complies with a subset of ISO 8601.
/// Note that hours are specified between 0 and 23,
/// as in a 24-hour clock.
/// For example:
///
/// ```dart
/// var now = DateTime.now();
/// var berlinWallFell = DateTime.utc(1989, 11, 9);
/// var moonLanding = DateTime.parse("1969-07-20 20:18:04Z");  // 8:18pm
/// ```
///
/// A DateTime object is anchored either in the UTC time zone
/// or in the local time zone of the current computer
/// when the object is created.
///
/// Once created, neither the value nor the time zone
/// of a DateTime object may be changed.
///
/// You can use properties to get
/// the individual units of a DateTime object.
///
/// ```dart
/// assert(berlinWallFell.month == 11);
/// assert(moonLanding.hour == 20);
/// ```
///
/// For convenience and readability,
/// the DateTime class provides a constant for each day and month
/// name - for example, [august] and [friday].
/// You can use these constants to improve code readability:
///
/// ```dart
/// var berlinWallFell = DateTime.utc(1989, DateTime.november, 9);
/// assert(berlinWallFell.weekday == DateTime.thursday);
/// ```
///
/// Day and month values begin at 1, and the week starts on Monday.
/// That is, the constants [january] and [monday] are both 1.
///
/// ## Working with UTC and local time
///
/// A DateTime object is in the local time zone
/// unless explicitly created in the UTC time zone.
///
/// ```dart
/// var dDay = DateTime.utc(1944, 6, 6);
/// ```
///
/// Use [isUtc] to determine whether a DateTime object is based in UTC.
/// Use the methods [toLocal] and [toUtc]
/// to get the equivalent date/time value specified in the other time zone.
/// Use [timeZoneName] to get an abbreviated name of the time zone
/// for the DateTime object.
/// To find the difference
/// between UTC and the time zone of a DateTime object
/// call [timeZoneOffset].
///
/// ## Comparing DateTime objects
///
/// The DateTime class contains several handy methods,
/// such as [isAfter], [isBefore], and [isAtSameMomentAs],
/// for comparing DateTime objects.
///
/// ```dart
/// assert(berlinWallFell.isAfter(moonLanding) == true);
/// assert(berlinWallFell.isBefore(moonLanding) == false);
/// ```
///
/// ## Using DateTime with Duration
///
/// Use the [add] and [subtract] methods with a [Duration] object
/// to create a DateTime object based on another.
/// For example, to find the date that is sixty days (24 * 60 hours) after today,
/// write:
///
/// ```dart
/// var now = DateTime.now();
/// var sixtyDaysFromNow = now.add(const Duration(days: 60));
/// ```
///
/// To find out how much time is between two DateTime objects use
/// [difference], which returns a [Duration] object:
///
/// ```dart
/// var difference = berlinWallFell.difference(moonLanding);
/// assert(difference.inDays == 7416);
/// ```
///
/// The difference between two dates in different time zones
/// is just the number of nanoseconds between the two points in time.
/// It doesn't take calendar days into account.
/// That means that the difference between two midnights in local time may be
/// less than 24 hours times the number of days between them,
/// if there is a daylight saving change in between.
/// If the difference above is calculated using Australian local time, the
/// difference is 7415 days and 23 hours, which is only 7415 whole days as
/// reported by `inDays`.
///
/// ## Other resources
///
/// See [Duration] to represent a span of time.
/// See [Stopwatch] to measure timespans.
///
/// The DateTime class does not provide internationalization.
/// To internationalize your code, use
/// the [intl](https://pub.dev/packages/intl) package.
///
