Annotation Interface StagedBuilder

@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE}) public @interface StagedBuilder
The staged builder annotation on a bean should create a builder that initializes the required properties in stages.

Every required property gets its own stage interface declaring the single method that assigns it and returns the next stage, so the build method is only reachable once all of them are assigned. A property is required unless the builder can leave it unassigned: it is nullable, it declares a default value with Bindable.defaultValue() or it accumulates values with Singular. Those are assigned in any order on the final stage.
