Okay, scratch that. We are just deriving the java.time value from the date's values for year, month, etc. Technically, the conversion to the ISO calendar system is not exact, since `GregorianCalendar` is a hybrid Julian-Gregorian calendar. We might better name it as `toGregorianProlepticYear`, which only indicates that the year and era are used to derive a Gregorian proleptic year (and not an exact ISO date conversion). ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/31808#discussion_r3604959336
