Register a type converter.

Type Parameters:

SRC - Source type

DST - Destination type

Parameters:

aSrcClass - A non-null source class to convert from. Must be an instancable class.

aDstClass - A non-null destination class to convert to. Must be an instancable class. May not equal the source class.

aConverter - The convert to use. May not be null.

Type Parameters:

DST - Destination type

Parameters:

aSrcClasses - A non-null collection of source classes to convert from. Must be an instancable class.
