i believe that betwixt uses ConvertUtils to convert stings to other things.
so you should be able to register a Converter. if this doesn't work, then
i'd say that this is a bug which needs to be fixed. repost and i'll take a
look when i get the change or (if you feeling brave) create a test case
and a patch. (i think that MethodUpdater is probably a good place to start
looking for the bug.)

don't say that too load! betwixt is cool but there's still tons of work
that still needs to be done. any help would be gratefully received!
