     Notes
     -----
     At present, this class adds both a new `SkyPixSystem` instance all possible
     `SkyPixDimension` to the builder that invokes it.  In the future, it may
-    add only the `SkyPixSystem`, with dimension instances created on-the-fly
-    by the `DimensionUniverse`; this depends on `DimensionGraph.encode` going
-    away or otherwise eliminating assumptions about the set of dimensions in a
-    universe being static.
