>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1625
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: lang.builder.*
>            Reporter: Caleb Cushing
>            Priority: Major

> what I want is to be able to add multiline/prettyprint to any style. I like the `IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString` method, but I wish it could support compound styling, for example 
> ```java
> var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().json();
> IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles);
> ```
> or
> ```java
> var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().shortPrefix();
> IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles);
> ```
> I feel like adding an additional parameter breaks the rule of no more than 4 parameters unless varargs (josh bloch, and others), so I'm proposing a builder.
> ```java
> var styles = new StyleBuilder()
>     .multiline()
>     .shortPrefix()
>     .outputTransients()
>     .reflectUpToSuperClass(...); // name change here, I didn't quite get what it was talking about at first in the documentation.
> ```
> or maybe
> ```java
> ToStringFormatter formatter= ToStringFormat.of( ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX, ToStringLineStyle.MULTILINE);
> ToStringBuilder.reflectUpToSuperClass(this, formatter, true, MyClass.class);
> ```
