bq. Well, to my mind, whether Velocity is Type-aware

I never suggested that Velocity should not be Type aware.

I'm just saying that there is two different levels:
* provide a custom converter handler
* provide custom converters to the default converter handler

> I was happy to see that method arguments conversion has been added to 2.0 so 
> that I can remove the uberspector we have on XWiki side but unfortunately 
> ConversionHandler is limited to classes which is way too restrictive for us 
> (for example if the parameter type is List<String> it won't do the same thing 
> than if the type is List<Integer>).
> Our uberspector can be found on 
> https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/blob/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki-commons-velocity/src/main/java/org/xwiki/velocity/introspection/MethodArgumentsUberspector.java
>  to see what we do exactly.
