> 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).
