If Builder is going to be instance-based, it should be Builder instead of Builder<T>

Further, this instance-based change is going to break a lot of code. I'm planning on restoring Builder as static and marking it obsolete to be deleted in the 5.0 release along with .net core support.

Question: Will it be Builder<T> in v 5?

[crmckenzie]

I don't think so. Instead, the methods on Builder should be generic. I don't want to have to create a separate builder for every type I want to build. In my mind, a builder maps to a BuilderConfiguration, but I should be able to build multiple types from the same configuration.

  var builder = new Builder(new MyBuilderConfiguration());
  var customers = builder.CreateListOfSize<Customer>(5);
  var products = builder.CreateListOfSize<Product>(25);
  // etc
