Today when trying to use the new typed API for building memory report in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/102569/trunk/Source/WebCore/inspector/InspectorMemoryAgent.cpp I encountered several problems which I think we need to address:

1. Sometimes result construction may be spread over a method or even several methods. In this case we have to either first calculate all properties and then set all of them in one statement:
RefPtr<DOMGroup> result = DOMGroup::create()
    .setSize(size_var)
    .setTitle(title_var)
    .setNodeCount(node_count_var);
would be more convenient to have some result object which we could incrementally fill with the properties but with current approach we would have to declare variables types like Memory::DOMGroup::Builder<TITLE_SET | NODE_COUNT_SET> which is too cumbersome.

2. In case result is populated in several methods we need to pass one builder as a parameter and return another builder as a result. Type declaration is still quite long.
