David Leangen updated FELIX-5475:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
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 sourceAsDTO() and targetAsDTO() methods that were 
recently added to the spec API. 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).

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
