Allow non-static Converter collections

           Summary: Allow non-static Converter collections
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Bean Utilities
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: apachebugs@chasmcity.com


The current mechanism for registering type converters with ConvertUtils is too
restrictive.  It only allows for one collection of converters for the entire VM,
since they are statically registered.  

It would be an improvement if there were a "ConverterSet" class, which contained
a collection of converters, which could then be passed to BeanUtils to be
used instead of the statically-registered converters.  This would allow
different parts of an application to use different converters according to their
own needs.
