> ConvertUtils should allow registering Converters not only with destination class, but with destination AND with source class.
> In addition to the void register(Converter converter, Class clazz) method, there should also be a register(Converter converter, Class sourceClass, Class destinationClass).  The implementation in Converter lookup(Class sourceType, Class targetType), which currently in the last line just does return lookup(targetType), should look for a Converter registered with both targetType & sourceType (if any).
> This would allow something like the attached example (Test case) to work, where I'd like to register a Converter which can turn A into B, as well as another Converter which can turn into Object into B (imagine B being something like a DynaBean) - this is not currently possible, but would be useful.
