/**
 * A convenience class for creating parameter objects for initializing configuration builder objects.
 * 
 * For setting initialization properties of new configuration objects, a number of specialized parameter classes exists.
 * These classes use inheritance to organize the properties they support in a logic way. For instance, parameters for
 * file-based configurations also support the basic properties common to all configuration implementations, parameters
 * for XML configurations also include file-based and basic properties, etc.
 * 
 * 
 * When constructing a configuration builder, an easy-to-use fluent API is desired to define specific properties for the
 * configuration to be created. However, the inheritance structure of the parameter classes makes it surprisingly
 * difficult to provide such an API. This class comes to rescue by defining a set of methods for the creation of
 * interface-based parameter objects offering a truly fluent API. The methods provided can be called directly when
 * setting up a configuration builder as shown in the following example code fragment:
 * 
 *  * Parameters params = new Parameters();
 * configurationBuilder.configure(params.fileBased()
 *   .setThrowExceptionOnMissing(true)
 *   .setEncoding("UTF-8")
 *   .setListDelimiter('#')
 *   .setFileName("test.xml"));
 * 
 * 
 * Using this class it is not only possible to create new parameters objects but also to initialize the newly created
 * objects with default values. This is via the associated {@link DefaultParametersManager} object. Such an object can
 * be passed to the constructor, or a new (uninitialized) instance is created. There are convenience methods for
 * interacting with the associated {@code DefaultParametersManager}, namely to register or remove
 * {@link DefaultParametersHandler} objects. On all newly created parameters objects the handlers registered at the
 * associated {@code DefaultParametersHandler} are automatically applied.
 * 
 * 
 * Implementation note: This class is thread-safe.
 * 
 *
 * @since 2.0
