`Builder`__
===========

Purpose
-------

Builder is an interface that build parts of a complex object.

Sometimes, if the builder has a better knowledge of what it builds, this
interface could be an abstract class with default methods (aka adapter).

If you have a complex inheritance tree for objects, it is logical to
have a complex inheritance tree for builders too.

Note: Builders have often a fluent interface, see the mock builder of
PHPUnit for example.
