new Temporal.PlainYearMonth()
Description
The new Temporal.PlainYearMonth() constructor creates a new
Temporal.PlainYearMonth object.

new Temporal.PlainYearMonth(year, month, calendar, referenceDay)

| Parameters | Description |

| calendar | Default "iso8601". A string representing the calendar. |
| referenceDay | Default 1. A number representing the day of the month in the ISO calendar system. |
