SuperBuilder (Lombok)

```
@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(SOURCE)
public @interface SuperBuilder
```
The SuperBuilder annotation creates a so-called 'builder' aspect to the class that is annotated with @SuperBuilder, but which works well when extending. It is similar to @Builder, except it is only legal on types, is less configurable, but allows you to extends other builder-able classes.
All classes in the hierarchy must be annotated with @SuperBuilder.
Lombok generates 2 inner 'builder' classes, which extend the parent class' builder class (unless your class doesn't have an extends clause). Lombok also generates a static method named builder(), and a protected constructor that takes 1 argument of the builderclass type.
The TBuilder class contains 1 method for each parameter of the annotated constructor / method (each field, when annotating a class), which returns the builder itself. The builder also has a build() method which returns a completed instance of the original type.
Complete documentation is found at the project lombok features page for @SuperBuilder.
