 * A {@link ToolingModelBuilder} which can be parameterized by the client.
 *
 * The parameter type {@code T} does not need to implement the interface defined in the client side, but it does need to have the same structure.
 * The Tooling API will create a view from the client side parameter type to the one defined in this model builder, and deal automatically with
 * missing methods in order to allow evolution of the models.
 * 
 *
 * All classes implementing this interface should also implement methods from {@link ToolingModelBuilder}, which will be used to determine if
 * a model can be built by the current builder and to generate the model in case no parameter is passed from the client.
 * The parameter type should be bound to the model type.
 * 
 *
 * @param  The type of parameter used by this model builder.
