Very cool!

I can see how this would be annoying to write.  But as a reader, I 
really prefer it!  If all the variables were called "builder", I would 
be confused.  Much easier if I know exactly which builder you are 
referring to -- especially since the declaration -- "builder -> { ..." 
-- often starts near the right margin.

Your Big.java provides an excellent example why this rule is great!  :)
