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