Yes i know.
But functionality of this solution is limited, while interactions are huge.
If you will need give all for example 9 parameters, you will still
need to check if you didn't omitted any, this mean more text for
analyse.

In this code you can ignore some parameter if you need:
   class SomeBuilder{
      SomeBuilder setA(A a){...};
      SomeBuilder setB(B a){...};
      ...
   }

call:
      new Some( new SomeBuilder().setA(a).setB(b)... );

When there is a lot parameters soon or later you will need builder
(more or less).

What more when happen that you will want obtain A & B & C from some
new created object D:
All modification for builder will be adding method:
   SomeBuilder setABC(D d){...};
, while in given solution you will need copy & paste constructor and modify it.
