/**
* A base class for converters that transform a normal configuration
* object into a hierarchical configuration.
* This class provides a default mechanism for iterating over the keys in a
* configuration and to throw corresponding element start and end events. By
* handling these events a hierarchy can be constructed that is equivalent to
* the keys in the original configuration.
* Concrete sub classes will implement event handlers that generate SAX
* events for XML processing or construct a
* HierarchicalConfiguration root node. All in all with this class
* it is possible to treat a default configuration as if it was a hierarchical
* configuration, which can be sometimes useful.
