In the following classes, month and day values are stored in fields of type 'int' or 'short'. The range of allowed values is small enough that the type can be 'byte' instead.
java.time.YearMonth
java.time.MonthDay
java.time.LocalDate
java.time.chono.HijrahDate
Refactoring the type will give the JVM a little more layout flexibility, and will be especially useful when these classes become value classes.
