> It would be useful to have builder-style classes as an alternative to plugin factory methods. This would be useful in two settings:
> # Easier to construct plugins in tests and in the code.
> # Can add annotations to fields for value injection in the PluginBuilder class.
> This could replace the existing factory methods, or it could complement it. This would also make it easier to support programmatic configuration.
