Rename periodUntil() to until() #311

Closed jodastephen closed 11 years ago

jodastephen commented 11 years ago

The Temporal.periodUntil and ChronoLocalDate.periodUntil methods use the name "period", but we only use that for date-based now via the Period class. The general term is "amount", but renaming to amountUntil() wouldn't be entirely clear. Renaming to until() is simple and effective, and keeps the methods grouped in the IDE.

Agreed that 'period' is unnecessarily specific in these methods.
