Caleb Cushing updated LANG-1625:
--------------------------------
Description:
what I want is to be able to add multiline/prettyprint to any style. I like the
`IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString` method, but I wish it could support
compound styling, for example
```java
var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().json();
IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles);
```
or
```java
var styles = new StyleBuilder().multiline().shortPrefix();
IsStringBuilder.reflectionToString(obj, styles);
```
I feel like adding an additional parameter breaks the rule of no more than 4
parameters unless varargs (josh bloch, and others), so I'm proposing a builder.
```java
var styles = new StyleBuilder()
.multiline()
.shortPrefix()
.outputTransients()
.reflectUpToSuperClass(...); // name change here, I didn't quite get what
it was talking about at first in the documentation.
```
or maybe
```java
ToStringFormatter formatter= ToStringFormat.of( ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX,
ToStringLineStyle.MULTILINE);
ToStringBuilder.reflectUpToSuperClass(this, formatter, true, MyClass.class);
```
