//! # period
//!
//! ## Description
//!
//! The `period` property contains a time period defined by start and end
//! date/time values. It represents duration-based data such as treatment
//! periods, enrollment spans, validity ranges, or any time-bounded clinical
//! events.
//!
//! ## Purpose
//!
//! - Define time ranges for clinical events and treatments
//! - Specify validity periods for data and authorizations
//! - Represent duration-based measurements and observations
//! - Support temporal queries and filtering
//! - Enable time-based business rule evaluation
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! The `period` property is used in extensions, parameters, and data elements
//! where time ranges need to be specified, such as treatment periods, coverage
//! spans, or observation intervals.
//!
//! ## Data Type
//!
//! **Period** - A complex type containing:
//! - `start` - Start date/time
//! - `end` - End date/time
//!
//! ## Constraints
//!
//! - Start must be before or equal to end if both are present
//! - At least one of start or end should be present
//! - Date/time values must be valid ISO 8601 format
//! - Open-ended periods can omit start or end
//! - Should include time zones for precision
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ### Extension with Treatment Period
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "extension": [
//! {
//! "url": "http://example.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/treatment-period",
//! "period": {
//! "start": "2024-01-15T09:00:00Z",
//! "end": "2024-03-15T17:00:00Z"
//! }
//! }
//! ]
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Parameter with Coverage Period
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "parameter": [
//! {
//! "name": "coveragePeriod",
//! "period": {
//! "start": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
//! "end": "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"
//! }
//! }
//! ]
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Related Keys
//!
//! - `valueDateTime` - Single date/time values
//! - `effectivePeriod` - Effective time ranges
//! - `start` - Period start times
//! - `end` - Period end times
//! - `period` - Direct period objects
//!
