Spring How about adding more explict writing/reading converter interface?

Hello, thanks for supporting spring framework :)

It appears that Spring Framework's converter system currently distinguishes between writing converters and reading converters based on annotations.

            Class<?> type = converter.getClass();
            boolean isWriting = type.isAnnotationPresent(WritingConverter.class);
            boolean isReading = type.isAnnotationPresent(ReadingConverter.class);

Is there a specific reason for controlling this solely through annotations? If there isn't a particular reason, how do you feel about adding WritingConverter and ReadingConverter interfaces that extend the Converter interface to define converters more explicitly?

I think this belongs in the issue tracker of spring-data-commons where those annotations exist.
