Sorry. The inability to register a global String converter was a personal pet peeve of mine, and I allowed my annoyance with it to blind me to other possibilities. Global string converters cannot be used, but you are absolutely correct that you could use a per-instance converter like this. You'd never set this up as a global converter, so this is a perfect use case for it. Thank you for pointing this out.
