I don't think so, it all looks possible though no doubt very long
term. The only point I'd note is that Year.default is not a valid
year, thus more akin to null, but nulls are a whole other topic.

I asked because a question was raised to me as to whether we should
add method overloads pre-valhalla to certain APIs in java.time.*.
  current: LocalDate.of(int, int, int)
  current: LocalDate.of(int, Month, int)
  add overload in Java 17?: LocalDate.of(Year, Month, int)

I think you'd suggest not to do that, but just want to be sure.

thanks
