Is there any possibility of supporting joda-time?

Hi, is there any possibility that threeten-extra will be extended to support the Partial date and time functionality of joda-time? We use these classes in our CoreNLP package (https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/), where they're sort of vital in translating natural language into formal time and date expression, since many human language expressions are partial.

In principle, we'd be happy to upgrade from joda-time to java.time, but in practice, we've been stuck for a decade, and it doesn't seem like this is changing..... Thx!

A class like Partial would be a perfectly good addition to ThreeTen-Extra. I don't currently have much spare time however, but feel free to create a PR.
