/**
 * A function from {@code A} to {@code B} with an associated <i>reverse function from {@code B}
 * to {@code A}; used for converting back and forth between <i>different representations of the same
 * information</i>.
 *
 * <h3>Invertibility
 *
 * <p>The reverse operation may be a strict inverse (meaning that {@code
 * converter.reverse().convert(converter.convert(a)).equals(a)} is always true). However, it is very
 * common (perhaps <i>more common) for round-trip conversion to be lossy. Consider an
 * example round-trip using {@link com.google.common.primitives.Doubles#stringConverter}:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>{@code stringConverter().convert("1.00")} returns the {@code Double} value {@code 1.0}
 * <li>{@code stringConverter().reverse().convert(1.0)} returns the string {@code "1.0"} --
 * <i>not the same string ({@code "1.00"}) we started with
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>Note that it should still be the case that the round-tripped and original objects are
 * <i>similar.
 *
 * <h3>Nullability
 *
 * <p>A converter always converts {@code null} to {@code null} and non-null references to non-null
 * references. It would not make sense to consider {@code null} and a non-null reference to be
 * "different representations of the same information", since one is distinguishable from
 * <i>missing information and the other is not. The {@link #convert} method handles this null
 * behavior for all converters; implementations of {@link #doForward} and {@link #doBackward} are
 * guaranteed to never be passed {@code null}, and must never return {@code null}.
 *
 *
 * <h3>Common ways to use
 *
 * <p>Getting a converter:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Use a provided converter implementation, such as {@link Enums#stringConverter},
 *     {@link com.google.common.primitives.Ints#stringConverter Ints.stringConverter} or the
 *     {@linkplain #reverse reverse} views of these.
 * <li>Convert between specific preset values using
 *     {@link com.google.common.collect.Maps#asConverter Maps.asConverter}. For example, use this to
 *     create a "fake" converter for a unit test. It is unnecessary (and confusing) to <i>mock
 *     the {@code Converter} type using a mocking framework.
 * <li>Extend this class and implement its {@link #doForward} and {@link #doBackward} methods.
 * <li>If using Java 8, you may prefer to pass two lambda expressions or method references to the
 *     {@link #from from} factory method.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Using a converter:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Convert one instance in the "forward" direction using {@code converter.convert(a)}.
 * <li>Convert multiple instances "forward" using {@code converter.convertAll(as)}.
 * <li>Convert in the "backward" direction using {@code converter.reverse().convert(b)} or {@code
 *     converter.reverse().convertAll(bs)}.
 * <li>Use {@code converter} or {@code converter.reverse()} anywhere a {@link Function} is accepted
 * <li>Do not call {@link #doForward} or {@link #doBackward} directly; these exist only to be
 *     overridden.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Example
 *
 * <pre>
 *   return new Converter<Integer, String>() {
 *     protected String doForward(Integer i) {
 *       return Integer.toHexString(i);
 *     }
 *
 *     protected Integer doBackward(String s) {
 *       return parseUnsignedInt(s, 16);
 *     }
 *   };</pre>
 *
 * <p>An alternative using Java 8:
   {@code
 *   return Converter.from(
 *       Integer::toHexString,
 *       s -> parseUnsignedInt(s, 16));}</pre>
