I don't know, the code is quite convoluted and builders are much more likely
to be used in dynamic situations (e.g. reading parameters from a
configuration file or from the user) than in static ones.

As much as I am a fan of static safety, builders strike me as being an area
where there is very little to gain from having build time error messages.
