/**
* <p>
* A default implementation of the {@code ConversionHandler} interface.
* </p>
* <p>
* This class implements the standard data type conversions as used by {@code AbstractConfiguration} and derived
* classes. There is a central conversion method - {@code convert()} - for converting a passed in object to a given
* target class. The basic implementation already handles a bunch of standard data type conversions. If other
* conversions are to be supported, this method can be overridden.
* </p>
* <p>
* The object passed to {@code convert()} can be a single value or a complex object (like an array, a collection, etc.)
* containing multiple values. It lies in the responsibility of {@code convert()} to deal with such complex objects. The
* implementation provided by this class tries to extract the first child element and then delegates to
* {@code convertValue()} which does the actual conversion.
* </p>
*
* @since 2.0
