 Description   
The NumberConverter links to java.lang.Number. If it knew exactly what type was wanted, it could try harder.

To this end, Converters need to be told what type they are dealing with. That way a DateConverter could also handle java.sql.Date etc.

New system no longer contains a NumberConverter, but more importantly it does have the desired type in the API.
