```
public interface BuilderFactory
```
A BuilderFactory object contains factory methods for building the various parts of an apfloat using the Builder pattern. There is no separate "director" object in the apfloat SPI; it is suggested that the ApfloatImpl implementation itself acts as the director, calling the different builders directly.
