291 * Client code (such as `gmx mdrun`) uses this builder to get an initialized Mdrunner.
293 * A builder allows the library to ensure that client code cannot obtain an
294 * uninitialized or partially initialized runner by refusing to build() if the

296 * code can be implemented for different user interfaces, encapsulating any

298 * as command-line option processing or interfacing to external libraries.
300 * \ingroup module_mdrun
304 * The initial Builder implementation is neither extensible at run time nor
305 * at compile time. Future implementations should evolve to compose the runner,
306 * rather than just consolidating the parameters for initialization, but there
307 * is not yet a firm design for how flexibly module code will be coupled to
308 * the builder and how much of the client interface will be in this Builder
309 * versus Builders provided by the various modules.
311 * The named components for the initial builder implementation are descriptive
312 * of the state of mdrun at the time, and are not intended to be prescriptive of
314 * The probable course of GROMACS development is for the modular components that
315 * support MD simulation to independently express their input parameters (required
316 * and optional) and to provide some sort of help to the UI for input preparation.
317 * If each module provides or aids the instantiation of a Director
318 * for the client code, the Directors could be constructed with a handle to this
319 * Builder and it would not need a public interface.
321 * As the modules are more clearly encapsulated, each module can provide its own
322 * builder, user interface helpers, and/or composable Director code.
323 * The runner and client code will also have to be updated as appropriate
324 * default behavior is clarified for

326 * (b) default behavior of builder when client does not provide input, and
