<div class="block">Defines an instant in the datetime continuum.
 This interface expresses the datetime as milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
 <p>
 The implementation of this interface may be mutable or immutable.
 This interface only gives access to retrieve data, never to change it.
 <p>
 Methods in your application should be defined using <code>ReadableInstant</code>
 as a parameter if the method only wants to read the instant without needing to know
 the specific datetime fields.
 <p>
 The <code>compareTo</code> method is no longer defined in this class in version 2.0.
 Instead, the definition is simply inherited from the <code>Comparable</code> interface.
 This approach is necessary to preserve binary compatibility.
 The definition of the comparison is ascending order by millisecond instant.
 Implementors are recommended to extend <code>AbstractInstant</code> instead of this interface.</div>
