 /// A platonic widget that both has state and calls a closure to obtain its child widget.
 ///
+/// The [StateSetter] function passed to the [builder] is used to invoke a
+/// rebuild instead of a typical [State]'s [State.setState].
+///
+/// Since the [builder] is re-invoked when the [StateSetter] is called, any
+/// variables that represents state should be kept outside the [builder] function.
+///
+/// {@tool sample}
+///
+/// This example shows using an inline StatefulBuilder that rebuilds and that
+/// also has state.
+///
+/// ```dart
+/// await showDialog<void>(
+///   context: context,
+///   builder: (BuildContext context) {
+///     int selectedRadio = 0;
+///     return AlertDialog(
+///       content: StatefulBuilder(
+///         builder: (BuildContext context, StateSetter setState) {
