That's fine.

Missing a period here and above. [Comments should be sentences](nedbatchelder.com/blog/201401/comments_should_be_sentences.html).
 Good point, thanks for the link.

Retrofit.Builder.validateEagerly() accept boolean
`validateEagerly` is a great option. But at the moment developer should explicitly store a reference to  `Retrofit.Builder` to conditionally enable/disable it.

Example:

Today:

``` java
@Provides @NonNull @Singleton
public SomeApi provideSomeApi(@NonNull OkHttpClient okHttpClient, @NonNull Moshi moshi) {
  Retrofit.Builder retrofitBuilder = new Retrofit.Builder()
    .baseUrl("https://someapi/v1/")
    .client(okHttpClient)
    .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
    .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi));

  if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) { // or some other config value
    retrofitBuilder.validateEagerly();
  }

  return retrofitBuilder.build().create(SomeApi.class);
}
```

A Better Tomorrow:

``` java
@Provides @NonNull @Singleton
public SomeApi provideSomeApi(@NonNull OkHttpClient okHttpClient, @NonNull Moshi moshi) {
  return new Retrofit.Builder()
    .baseUrl("https://someapi/v1/")
    .client(okHttpClient)
    .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
    .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
    .validateEagerly(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
    .build()
    .create(SomeApi.class);
}
```

Wouldn't you be mind of PR which will change signature of `validateEagerly` so it could accept `boolean`?
