Simple implementation of the TypeConverter interface that does not operate on a specific target object. This is an alternative to using a full-blown BeanWrapperImpl instance for arbitrary type conversion needs, while using the very same conversion algorithm (including delegation to PropertyEditor and ConversionService) underneath. 
Note: Due to its reliance on PropertyEditors, SimpleTypeConverter is not thread-safe. Use a separate instance for each thread.
