/**
 * This interface simplifies the task of writing fluent builders which need to inherit from
 * other builders (abstract or concrete). It overcomes Java's limitation of not being able to
 * return an instance of a class narrowed to the class itself. It should be used by all {@link Builder}
 * classes which require inheritance (such as the {@link CacheLoaderConfigurationBuilder})
