    - #### public static LocalDateTime clearTime(LocalDateTime self)

      Returns a LocalDateTime with the time portion cleared.

      Parameters:
        `self` - a LocalDateTime
      Returns:
        a LocalDateTime
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static OffsetDateTime clearTime(OffsetDateTime self)

      Returns an OffsetDateTime with the time portion cleared.

      Parameters:
        `self` - an OffsetDateTime
      Returns:
        an OffsetDateTime
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static ZonedDateTime clearTime(ZonedDateTime self)

      Returns an ZonedDateTime with the time portion cleared.

      Parameters:
        `self` - a ZonedDateTime
      Returns:
        a ZonedDateTime
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static Duration div(Duration self, long scalar)

      Supports the division operator; equivalent to calling the Duration.dividedBy method.

      Parameters:
        `self` - a Duration
        `scalar` - the value to divide by
      Returns:
        a Duration
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static void downto(Temporal from, Temporal to, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this to the `to` Temporal, inclusive, decrementing by one unit each iteration, calling the closure once per iteration. The closure may accept a single Temporal argument.

      The particular unit decremented by depends on the specific sub-type of Temporal. Most sub-types use a unit of ChronoUnit.SECONDS except for

      - ChronoLocalDate and its sub-types use ChronoUnit.DAYS.
      - YearMonth uses ChronoUnit.MONTHS.
      - Year uses ChronoUnit.YEARS.
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if this value is earlier than `to`
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if `to` is a different type than this
      Parameters:
        `from` - the starting Temporal
        `to` - the ending Temporal
        `closure` - the zero or one-argument closure to call
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static void downto(Temporal from, Temporal to, TemporalUnit unit, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this to the `to` Temporal, inclusive, decrementing by one `unit` each iteration, calling the closure once per iteration. The closure may accept a single Temporal argument.

      If the unit is too large to iterate to the second Temporal exactly, such as iterating from two LocalDateTimes that are seconds apart using ChronoUnit.DAYS as the unit, the iteration will cease as soon as the current value of the iteration is earlier than the second Temporal argument. The closure will not be called with any value earlier than the `to` value.

      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if this value is earlier than `to`
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if `to` is a different type than this
      Parameters:
        `from` - the starting Temporal
        `to` - the ending Temporal
        `unit` - the TemporalUnit to increment by
        `closure` - the zero or one-argument closure to call
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static void upto(Temporal from, Temporal to, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this to the `to` Temporal, inclusive, incrementing by one unit each iteration, calling the closure once per iteration. The closure may accept a single Temporal argument.

      The particular unit incremented by depends on the specific sub-type of Temporal. Most sub-types use a unit of ChronoUnit.SECONDS except for

      - ChronoLocalDate and its sub-types use ChronoUnit.DAYS.
      - YearMonth uses ChronoUnit.MONTHS.
      - Year uses ChronoUnit.YEARS.
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if this value is later than `to`
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if `to` is a different type than this
      Parameters:
        `from` - the starting Temporal
        `to` - the ending Temporal
        `closure` - the zero or one-argument closure to call
      Since:
        2.5.0

    - #### public static void upto(Temporal from, Temporal to, TemporalUnit unit, Closure closure)

      Iterates from this to the `to` Temporal, inclusive, incrementing by one `unit` each iteration, calling the closure once per iteration. The closure may accept a single Temporal argument.

      If the unit is too large to iterate to the second Temporal exactly, such as iterating from two LocalDateTimes that are seconds apart using ChronoUnit.DAYS as the unit, the iteration will cease as soon as the current value of the iteration is later than the second Temporal argument. The closure will not be called with any value later than the `to` value.

      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if this value is later than `to`
      throws:
        GroovyRuntimeException if `to` is a different type than this
      Parameters:
        `from` - the starting Temporal
        `to` - the ending Temporal
        `unit` - the TemporalUnit to increment by
        `closure` - the zero or one-argument closure to call
