-------------------------------------------------------------
+1 on the rename of the default annotation "converter".
Yes the boolean means what you say (and no problem with the name you proposed),
the only thing is that in an annotation it needs a default value. If we put
"false" then that implies it will need a provided converter. If we put "true"
then that implies it will have to be set to "false" if the user wants to
specify a converter of their own (as well as specifying the converter
attribute). An alternate would be to NOT have as a boolean (like we did for all
other annotations), and instead have as String ... then the default would be
"", and your rules would work.
