// <synopsis> 
// ConversionIO is a specialization of class TypeIO to store
// data in a converted format.
// <p>
// The class converts the data to/from external data and reads/writes
// them from/into the ByteIO object given at construction time.
// Conversion is only done when really needed. If not needed, the
// data is directly read or written.
// <p>
// This class is useful when data can be stored in one of multiple formats.
// Only at construction time the correct <linkto class=DataConversion>
// DataConversion</linkto> class has to be given. Thereafter polymorphism
// ensures that the correct conversion is done when reading or writing.
// </synopsis>
