   * Build a new object based on the values set in the builder. This method is NOT context aware -
   * any context is not updated. Use the {@link TransitEntityBuilder#save()} method instead to
   * build an object and store it in the context. This method is useful if you need to build an
   * object which should be request scoped or used in a test.
   * 
   * For value objects are stored as "part of" an entity, but OTP tries to reuse objects using the
   * {@code Deduplicator}. This method may or may not be context aware, using a deduplicator to
   * avoid unnecessary object creation.
