Many command-line applications use the following code to invoke a builder:

builder.build(input, new NullProgressReporter(), new CancellationToken())

These applications do not monitor progress and do not care about cancellation. I would like to see a variant

builder.build(input)

which creates the progress monitor and the cancellation token behind the scenes.

Good idea, I added default methods to the interface for that: https://github.com/metaborg/spoofax/commit/112096a323ccab9d8140ce61f5880d52f112d372
