True. Users are free to create their own facade to make object
construction easier.

There does not seem to be a good reason why this is not public. The only
argument I've heard is that some people do not like to use long ctors. But
so what? If we make it public, users have the choice to the the whole
fluent builder API or not.
Thoughts?

I would be ok with making the parser and format ctors public. What
else? I agree that we should not force force folks into an API pattern
but here it's not a big API at least.

Not sure, we already achieved immutability last year without paying this
price:

This design was sacrified for the sake of implementing a "by the book"
builder pattern that brings no real benefit in term of usability. It's
just a useless layer of complexity.
