Use generic types in the ConvertRequest class#165
Merged

Conversation
A converter may need to verify type compatibility not just at the Class level, but potentially for any generic type. Generic types are not available at runtime from object instances, but they are available in other scenarios; e.g., the ImageJ OPS framework uses the converter framework to decide type compatibility (i.e., assignability or convertibility) based on generic types. This is possible (rather than generics being erased at runtime) because OPS parameters are declared as instance fields, which can be introspected at runtime.
