    - #### public int getEra()

      Equivalent to calling the Year#get(java.time.temporal.TemporalField) method with a ChronoField#ERA argument.

      Returns the era of the year, which is currently either 0 (BC) or 1 (AD).

      Returns:
        an int representing the era
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public int getYearOfEra()

      Equivalent to calling the Year#get(java.time.temporal.TemporalField) method with a ChronoField#YEAR_OF_ERA argument.

      Since Year=0 represents 1 BC, the yearOfEra value of Year=0 is 1, Year=-1 is 2, and so on.

      Returns:
        the year value of the era
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public YearMonth leftShift(Month month)

      Returns a YearMonth of this year and the provided Month.

      Parameters:
        `month` - a Month
      Returns:
        a YearMonth

    - #### public LocalDate leftShift(MonthDay monthDay)

      Returns a LocalDate of this year on the given MonthDay.

      Parameters:
        `monthDay` - a MonthDay
      Returns:
        a LocalDate
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public Year minus(long years)

      Returns a Year that is `years` years before this year.

      Parameters:

    - #### public Year next()

      Returns a Year after this year.

      Returns:
        the next Year
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public Year parse(CharSequence text, String pattern)

      Parse text into a Year using the provided pattern.

      Parameters:
