 /**
  * Return the end of the specified date-time `unit` for a given ISO 8601 datetime string.
  *
+ * - A Sunday-first week runs Sunday to Saturday, so a Sunday ends its week six days later.
+ * - The end is computed forward from `value`, so it is returned even when the unit began before
+ *   the first representable date (`-271821-04-19`).
+ * - The end is written at nanosecond precision by default, so the string names the end itself; an
+ *   explicit `fractionalSecondDigits` (0, 3, 6 or 9) truncates it, as Temporal's `toString` does.
+ * - `unit` accepts the singular or plural name (`"month"` or `"months"`), as Temporal does.
+ * - `weekStartsOn` other than `"monday"` or `"sunday"` returns "".
  * - Returns "" for invalid inputs.
+ * - **Compatibility:** before 1.16.0 the default printed only the digits the unit names — none for
+ *   `second` and coarser, 3 for `millisecond`, 6 for `microsecond` — which wrote a moment earlier
+ *   than the end. Pass that `fractionalSecondDigits` to keep the previous string.
