Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.until()

The until() method of Temporal.PlainDate instances returns a new Temporal.Duration object representing the duration from this date to another date (in a form convertible by Temporal.PlainDate.from()). The duration is positive if the other date is after this date, and negative if before.

This method does other - this. To do this - other, use the since() method.
