Hmm, we have StrictBuilder already. Even while it's in an internal module and not widely advertised, it would be nice to come up with a consistent naming.

Should this one be LazyBuilder or LazyTextBuilder or TextLazyBuilder?.. @Lysxia what do you think?

[Lysxia]

I like LazyTextBuilder since there is also type LazyText, and so that leave room for TextBuilder as the new (and public) name for StrictBuilder.

[BebeSparkelSparkel]

I have added StrictTextBuilder and LazyTextBuilder.

I forgot we're already exporting StrictBuilder. So LazyBuilder for symmetry, instead of adding another step of renaming. Sorry for the confusion.

[BebeSparkelSparkel]

I can add LazyBuilder, but I want to have Text directly in the name with StrictTextBuilder and LazyTextBuilder to differentiate it from other builder types.

Wouldn't qualified imports let you disambiguate as well?

[BebeSparkelSparkel]

I see many type TextBuilder aliases in packages so it seems that many people want to be able to disambiguate with the name.

We can go for StrictTextBuilder / LazyTextBuilder and deprecate the existing StrictBuilder name, I don't think there are any users at the moment.

That's fine by me, but let me defer the judgement to @Lysxia as an original author of StrictBuilder.

Thanks!
