I understand the isEquals() method compares the chronology but the why does
the LocalDate class equals method compare the chronology and why does it
even care?
In my mind, a LocalDate class should not care what sort of chronology it
was constructed with. If the year, month, and date match, it should be
equals. Is there a flaw in that logic?
