Lombok would benefit from more granular control over the generation of
constructors.

See the discussion here: http://groups.google.com/group/project-
lombok/browse_thread/thread/553c771b5006e18f

This would likely take the form of a @ Constructors annotation with 3
potential parameters (noargs, minimal and all) each of which takes an enum
value where the enum is defined something like this:

public enum AccessLevel {
PUBLIC, PROTECTED
}

I don't think there is any reason for PRIVATE or PACKAGE in this case, but
perhaps I am overlooking a use case.

This combination would allow a developer to specify any reasonably
pragmatic combination of constructor types and specify the desired access
levels for each. As such:

@ Constructors(noargs=AccessLevel.PROTECTED, minimal=AccessLevel.PUBLIC,
all=AccessLevel.PUBLIC)

AccessLevel already exists, fortunately :)
