Gary D. Gregory commented on CODEC-325:
---------------------------------------

The way to go here is to create a builder to avoid continuing constructor inflation. I'll take a look...

> In our (Jackrabbit) quest to remove Guava dependencies, we started using the commons-codec Base32 class.
> I first started with the Builder, but noted that using hexEncoding is a bit ... complicated. Other than with the constructor:
>   https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base32.html#%3Cinit%3E(boolean)
> we need to specify the actual encoding table (a nice feature to have), but use one of the two known tables requires actually copying the table over.
> It would be nice if there either was a shortcut (using a boolean as before), or if the two "known" tables could be made visible to the caller (either using public constants, or some convenience methods).
> Best regards, Julian
