Sebb commented on CLI-209:
--------------------------

Another way to fix the class would be to turn all the static variables into 
instance variables, and add parallel instance methods. The static methods would 
then use a static singleton instance. That would allow use from multiple 
threads without the overhead of ThreadLocal.

The library would still not be thread-safe, but at least it could be used by 
multiple threads in parallel so long as each thread had its own instances.

> Class OptionBuilder is not thread-safe.
> It uses one OptionBuilder instance without synchronizing access to it.
> If more than one thread uses OptionBuilder, that can result in invalid 
> Options (suppose a scheduler component).
> Don't know if this should be fixed. At least the Javadoc should mention the 
> fact that the class is not thread-safe.
> As a workaround, use constructor of class Option.
