I just don't see the problem here. The only reason you would ever care about this is if for some strange reason you're creating thousands and thousands of Builder objects, and that's not a plausible use case because builders are reusable. If you want to parse documents in parallel in separate threads, give every thread gets its own builder. Problem solved.

You seem to be proposing a very complex solution to a very easily solved problem. Is there something more complicated here I'm not seeing?
