Thanks Leif and Markspace.  Using <?> worked both in the minimal
example and in the program I trimmed down to make the example.
Using SliderBuilder<SliderBuilder> didn't, but thanks also.
I understand some of how generic work, but not all.  I assume
that some type information that is available in the expressions
that initialize okslider1 and okslider2 is lost by not including
the <?> in "SliderBuilder<?> sliderbuilder".
