Annotation Interface Singular

@Target(METHOD) @Retention(SOURCE) public @interface Singular
Applying this annotation to a Builder-annotated interface method will cause the generated class to also include additional "add*()" methods. This will only apply, however, if the method is for a Map, List, or Set.

      String value
      The optional value specified here will determine the singular form of the method name. For instance, if we take a method like this: 
      
 @Singlular("pickle")
 List<Pickle> getPickles();
      an additional generated method named addPickle(Pickle val) will be placed on the builder of the generated class.

      This annotation only applies to getter methods that return a Map, List, or Set. If left undefined then the add method will used the default method name, dropping any "s" that might be present at the end of the method name (e.g., pickles -> pickle).

      Returns:
      The singular name to add
      Default:
      ""
