    /**
     * We require that an instance of {@link CommonProfile} is backed by a profile folder on the file system. Hence, during instantiation of
     * CommonProfile we have to ensure that the instance is ``in sync'' with the file system. As there are a number of cases to consider as
     * to how to ensure this synchronicity, we encapsulate this code into its own class, the sole purpose of which is to construct a
     * ``valid'' instance of CommonProfile.
     * 
     * Intuitively, the class CommonProfile requires a {@link File} upon instantiation that denotes the directory backing the profile, which
     * we call the profile directory. For the sake of convenience, the {@link Builder} offers the user the possibility to create the profile
     * directory prior to instantiation ({@link #create(boolean)}).
     * 
     * Throughout the documentation of this class we use the terms 'profile directory', 'internal directory', 'version file', and
     * 'functionally empty'. The former terms refer to the directory supplied upon instantiation of the Builder, the directory 'internal' at
     * the root of the profile directory, and the file 'internal/profile.version', respectively. For a definition of 'functionally empty',
     * please refer to the documentation of the method {@link #create(boolean)}.
