I've just done a pass to pretty up some Javadoc in .lang.builder and I cannot see the need for the class StandardToStringStyle. It is not used at all except in a unit test. All it does is call super on a bunch of accessors and mutators (and changing these methods from protected to public). What is the point? What am I missing?
In IMHO, a /simplification/ would be to remove StandardToStringStyle and make ToStringStyle concrete public methods. This StandardToStringStyle subclass is just too weird!
