/**
 * An extension to {@link ProtoConverter} that enforces the Entity class and the Proto class to stay
 * in sync. The enforcement is done by {@link SafeProtoConverterTest}.
 *
 * Requirements:
 *
 * 

 *   Implementing classes must be enums with a single value. Please prefer descriptive enum and
 *       instance names, such as {@code MyTypeConverter::MY_TYPE_CONVERTER}.
 *   
The Java Entity class must be annotated with {@link ConvertibleToProto}.
 * 
 *
 * All safe converters are tested using {@link SafeProtoConverterTest}. Therefore, unless your
 * Entity class has a {@code defaults()} method, or other methods besides simple getters and
 * setters, there is no need to explicitly test your safe converter.
