/**
 * The builder annotation creates a so-called 'builder' aspect to the class that is annotated or the class
 * that contains a member which is annotated with {@code @Builder}.
 * 

* If a member is annotated, it must be either a constructor or a method. If a class is annotated, * then a package-private constructor is generated with all fields as arguments * (as if {@code @AllArgsConstructor(access = AccessLevel.PACKAGE)} is present * on the class), and it is as if this constructor has been annotated with {@code @Builder} instead. * Note that this constructor is only generated if you haven't written any constructors and also haven't * added any explicit {@code @XArgsConstructor} annotations. In those cases, lombok will assume an all-args * constructor is present and generate code that uses it; this means you'd get a compiler error if this * constructor is not present. *

* The effect of {@code @Builder} is that an inner class is generated named TBuilder, * with a private constructor. Instances of TBuilder are made with the * method named {@code builder()} which is also generated for you in the class itself (not in the builder class). *

* The TBuilder class contains 1 method for each parameter of the annotated * constructor / method (each field, when annotating a class), which returns the builder itself. * The builder also has a build() method which returns a completed instance of the original type, * created by passing all parameters as set via the various other methods in the builder to the constructor * or method that was annotated with {@code @Builder}. The return type of this method will be the same * as the relevant class, unless a method has been annotated, in which case it'll be equal to the * return type of that method. *

* Complete documentation is found at the project lombok features page for @Builder. *
*

 * 	private T foo;
 * 	private final String bar;
