I recently added a bunch of Builders in various places and used "with" as
the setter method prefix.

We have a mix of "set" and "with" in our Builders ATM.

I am thinking of going back and changing the builders I added since 2.7
from "with" to "set".

I am liking "set" better because:
- More standard than "with"
- Therefore IDEs like Eclipse, by default will not generate warnings for
setter methods when the param name is the same as the ivar (the param name
is hidding a field)
- Easier to remember to type "s" for "set" when using code completion
- shorter than "set"

I still like "with" ONLY in the case when a NEW object is generated, which
is usually not (never?) the case in our Builders.

Any thoughts?

Gary
