104     * Returns a guarded type conversion that receives a value of the specified
105     * source type and returns a value converted to the specified target type.
106     * Value types can be either primitives or reference types, including
107     * interfaces, so you can even provide converters for converting your
108     * language's objects to Java interfaces and classes by generating adapters
109     * for them.
110     * <p>
111     * The type of the invocation is <code>(sourceType)&rarr;targetType</code>, while the
112     * type of the guard is <code>(sourceType)&rarr;boolean</code>. You are allowed to
113     * return unconditional invocations (with no guard) if the source type is
114     * specific to your runtime and your runtime only.
115     * <p>Note that this method will never be invoked for
116     * {@link TypeUtilities#isMethodInvocationConvertible(Class, Class) method
117     * invocation conversions} as those can be automatically applied by
118     * {@link java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle#asType(MethodType)}.
119     * An implementation can assume it is never requested to produce a
120     * converter for those conversions. If a language runtime needs to customize
121     * method invocation conversions, it should
122     * {@link jdk.dynalink.DynamicLinkerFactory#setAutoConversionStrategy(MethodTypeConversionStrategy)
123     * set an autoconversion strategy in the dynamic linker factory} instead.
124     * <p>Dynalink is at liberty to either cache some of the returned converters
125     * or to repeatedly request the converter factory to create the same
126     * conversion.
127     *
128     * @param sourceType source type
129     * @param targetType the target type.
130     * @param lookupSupplier a supplier for retrieving the lookup of the class
131     * on whose behalf a type converter is requested. When a converter is
132     * requested as part of linking an {@code invokedynamic} instruction the
133     * supplier will return the lookup passed to the bootstrap method, otherwise
134     * if the method is invoked from within a
135     * {@link LinkerServices#getWithLookup(Supplier, jdk.dynalink.SecureLookupSupplier)}
136     * it will delegate to the secure lookup supplier. In any other case,
137     * it will return the public lookup. A typical case where the lookup might
138     * be needed is when the converter creates a Java adapter class on the fly
139     * (e.g. to convert some object from the dynamic language into a Java
140     * interface for interoperability). Invoking the {@link Supplier#get()}
141     * method on the passed supplier will be subject to the same security checks
142     * as {@link SecureLookupSupplier#getLookup()}. An implementation should avoid
143     * retrieving the lookup if it is not needed so as to avoid the expense of
144     * {@code AccessController.doPrivileged} call.
145     * @return a guarded invocation that can take an object (if it passes guard)
146     * and return another object that is its representation coerced into the
147     * target type. In case the factory is certain it is unable to handle a
148     * conversion, it can return null. In case the factory is certain that it
149     * can always handle the conversion, it can return an unconditional
150     * invocation (one whose guard is null).
151     * @throws Exception if there was an error during creation of the converter
152     * @see LinkerServices#getWithLookup(Supplier, SecureLookupSupplier)
