> When using a method such as BeanUtils.copyProperty(), it would be good if it could automatically handle conversion between array types, rather than having to explicitly write an array converter for each target type.
> For example, if I pass a String[] to BeanUtils to copy on to a property of type Integer[], then it would recognise the presense of an array, and then use the registered converters for the arrays' component types to decide how to map them together.
> This would remove the need to essentially duplicate converters already written, just to add array support.
