    I wondered about moving the `HttpMethod` into `HttpTool`. No strong 
feelings. If we did try to add a generic builder, then it would allow setting a 
body for all methods, and then would have to validate on `build()`. That's not 
ideal, but maybe worth it to avoid duplication.
    
    Also, see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods. 
There are other methods we're not supporting (e.g. `TRACE`, `OPTIONS`, etc). 
Are we right to use an enum with a subset of the methods? I think we are: the 
enum lists all the methods that are supported. And there is no need to try to 
support the less common methods until there's a real use-case.
    
    Let's leave it as-is, and think about it some more :-)
    But if you feel it would be a lot cleaner to have a generic builder, and/or 
to move `HttpMethod` into `HttpTool` then go for it.
