/**
*
* This package contains interfaces and classes related to data type conversions.
*
*
* An {@code AbstractConfiguration} object is associated with an object responsible for data type conversions. Each
* conversion is done by this object. By replacing the default conversion handler by a custom version, client
* applications can adapt and extend the type conversions available.
*
*
* Related to data type conversion is also the topic of list delimiter parsing and splitting; before a string value can
* be converted to a target data type, it must be clear whether it is to be interpreted as a single value or as a list
* containing multiple values. In this package there are classes implementing different strategies for list delimiter
* handling. Client code can choose the one which is most suitable for the current use case.
