David Leangen commented on FELIX-5475:
--------------------------------------

Beautiful, thanks! I haven't yet looked at the changes, but my plan is to 
update this issue, then begin work on the impl.

I think I'll just have to squash all the previous changes into one largish 
commit. My expectation is that is should be relatively easy to make the change 
from sourceAs(DTO.class) to sourceAsDTO(), but we'll see!

> Allow the use of DTO.class to signal that an Object should be treated as a 
> DTO.

> 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).
