Great idea. We should raise a JIRA to track this; it would be handy
information to know.
We should make it easy to diagnose what the body type is; maybe we
should hack the log endpoint to make it easy to log the body content
and type?

BTW you only need to convert the body if you wanna process it in some
way. e.g. you can just get the body, when using the File component as
a File if you want. Or as a Source if you are using JBI. You only need
to convert to another type if its not the thing you want. e.g. you
could convert a JBI message body to a String if you fancied it etc.
