Implicit fallback converter for Object, CharSequence and Serializable

See original GitHub issue

String extends Object and implements CharSequence and Serializable. It makes no sense to force users to write their own no-op converters if these types are requested. Instead there should be a fallback to simply cast to the requested type, if no explicitly registered converter for the type is found, and the value could be cast to the requested type (i. e., the requested type is either Object, CharSequenceor Serializable):

if (no_converter_found && no_implicit_conversion_found && Arrays.asList(Object.class, CharSequence.class, Serializable.class).contains(requestedClass))
    return requestedClass.cast(propertyValue);
