[users at bb.net] Valid builder names, influencing their order

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi,

I agree this is a good use case.
I guess right now you can't begin the builder by a 0 else it wouldn't be an
identifier.
What you can do is to prefix all by normal builders by 'B', and virtual
builders by 'V'
This is a bit silly but that would work.

Regards,
Pierre
