[bv-dev] Should we expose group conversions via meta-data API?

[Emmanuel Bernard]

I'd rather have a GroupConversionDescriptor representing the from / to.
My reason is that if we add a new attribute to @ConvertGroup later, we
will be able to add it on the descriptor as well.

I think we tend to use a Set for the collection of elements in the spec.

So that would become a Set<GroupConvertionDescriptor>.
