This makes the constructors for ModelElement private, and makes use of a separate builder that can be overridden in tests or otherwise be plugged-in via mocks or fake objects.
I think this is an overall improvement, but there might be something more extensive we could do that would achieve the same result.
If this works out, I'll do the same thing for ElementType, the other constructor that follows the original pattern.
