Let's try it with the changed API... If you'd like to give it a go that would 
be great!

If we do a sourceAsDTO() then we should also have a targetAsDTO() I think. That 
would allow you to convert to any class but then only looking at its public 
instance fields and treating it as a DTO...

WDYT?

> Sometimes it is useful to treat a class as if it were a DTO, i.e. by ignoring 
> methods, static fields etc.
> This can be done using the sourceAs(Class) method with the DTO.class as the 
> parameter. This is a non-ambiguous way to signal to the Converter to treat 
> any Object as if it were a DTO (at the risk of the caller).
