What's the alternative solution? I use Java annotation processor to generate a
lot of types, would like to have @Convert(converter = some.class) on these
types. It's annoying to list them in some configuration file or even embed
@Persist to a lot of class fields.
BTW, the javadoc on @Convert still says it can apply to type...
