/**
* Convert the specified input object into an output object of type
* array-of-boolean.
*
* If the input value is null, then the default value specified in the
* constructor is returned. If no such value was provided, then a
* ConversionException is thrown instead.
*
* If the input value is of type String[] then the returned array shall
* be of the same size as this array, with a true or false value in each
* array element depending on the result of applying method
* BooleanConverter.convert to each string.
*
* For all other types of value, the object's toString method is
* expected to return a string containing a comma-separated list of
* values, eg "true, false, true". See the documentation for
* {@link AbstractArrayConverter#parseElements} for more information on
* the exact formats supported.
*
* If the result of value.toString() cannot be split into separate
* words, then the default value is also returned (or an exception thrown).
*
*
* If any of the elements in the value array (or the elements resulting
* from splitting up value.toString) are not recognized by the
* BooleanConverter associated with this object, then what happens depends
* on whether that BooleanConverter has a default value or not: if it does,
* then that unrecognized element is converted into the BooleanConverter's
* default value. If the BooleanConverter does not have a default
* value, then the default value for this object is returned as the
* complete conversion result (not just for the element), or an
* exception is thrown if this object has no default value defined.
*
* @param type is the type to which this value should be converted. In the
* case of this BooleanArrayConverter class, this value is ignored.
*
* @param value is the input value to be converted.
*
* @return an object of type boolean[], or the default value if there was
* any sort of error during conversion and the constructor
* was provided with a default value.
*
* @throws ConversionException if conversion cannot be performed
* successfully and the constructor was not provided with a default
* value to return on conversion failure.
*
* @throws NullPointerException if value is an array, and any of the
* array elements are null.
