-- * Detail
--
-- A 'Builder' is an auxiliary object that reads textual descriptions of a
-- user interface and instantiates the described objects. To pass a
-- description to a 'Builder', perform 'builderAddFromFile' or
-- 'builderAddFromString'. These computations can be performed multiple
-- times; the builder merges the content of all descriptions.
--
-- A 'Builder' holds a reference to all objects that it has constructed and
-- drops these references when it is finalized. This finalization can cause
-- the destruction of non-widget objects or widgets which are not contained
-- in a toplevel window. For toplevel windows constructed by a builder, it 
-- is the responsibility of the user to perform 'widgetDestroy' to get rid
-- of them and all the widgets they contain.
--
-- The computations 'builderGetObject' and 'builderGetObjects' can be used
-- to access the widgets in the interface by the names assigned to them
-- inside the UI description. Toplevel windows returned by these functions
-- will stay around until the user explicitly destroys them with
-- 'widgetDestroy'. Other widgets will either be part of a larger hierarchy
-- constructed by the builder (in which case you should not have to worry
-- about their lifecycle), or without a parent, in which case they have to
-- be added to some container to make use of them. Non-widget objects need
-- to be reffed with 'objectRef' to keep them beyond the lifespan of the
-- builder.
