Here's a thought that may be distracting. I wonder if it is easy to have a
single builder that accepts Text, CharSequence, byte[], etc. Such a builder
could mix and match the types; for example, a Text row and visibility, a
CharSequence family and qualifier. A user might even extend such a builder to
add support for building a key from a custom type.
Maybe Java 8 default methods would make this easier, [a la
mixins](http://hannesdorfmann.com/android/java-mixins).
