/**
 * Abstract superclass for {@link Converter} plugins. Performs appropriate
 * dispatching of {@link #canConvert(ConversionRequest)} and
 * {@link #convert(ConversionRequest)} calls based on the actual state of the
 * given {@link ConversionRequest}.
 * 
 * Note that the {@link #supports(ConversionRequest)} method is overridden as
 * well, to delegate to the appropriate {@link #canConvert}.
 * 
 * 
 * NB: by default, the {@link #populateInputCandidates(Collection)} method has a
 * dummy implementation. Effectively, this is opt-in behavior. If a converter
 * implementation would like to suggest candidates for conversion, this method
 * can be overridden.
 * 
 * 
 * NB: by default, the provied {@link #canConvert} methods will return
 * {@code false} if the input is {@code null}. This allows {@link Converter}
 * implementors to assume any input is non-{@code null} - but this behavior is
 * overridden. Casting {@code null Object} inputs is handled by the
 * {@link NullConverter}, while {@code null class} inputs are handled by the
 * {@link DefaultConverter}.
