> There are various {{Append()}} overloads in Builder and subclasses, some of which append one value, some of which append multiple values at once.
> The API might be clearer and less error-prone if multiple-append variants were named differently, for example {{AppendValues()}}. Especially with the pointer-taking variants, it's probably easy to call the wrong overload by mistake.
> The existing methods would have to go through a deprecation cycle.
