extends Object
implements Serializable
```
AbstractReadableInstantFieldProperty is a base class for binding a ReadableInstant to a DateTimeField.
It allows the date and time manipulation code to be field based yet still easy to use.
AbstractReadableInstantFieldProperty itself is thread-safe and immutable, but the ReadableInstant being operated on may be mutable and not thread-safe.

Since:

1.0
