  /**
   * Decorator providing additional getters for any Configuration. This extended Configuration supports more types:
   * <ul>
   * <li>{@link java.net.URL}</li>
   * <li>{@link java.util.Locale}</li>
   * <li>{@link java.util.Date}</li>
   * <li>{@link java.util.Calendar}</li>
   * <li>{@link java.awt.Color}</li>
   * <li>{@link java.net.InetAddress}</li>
   * <li>{@code javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress} (requires Javamail in the classpath)</li>
   * <li>{@code jakarta.mail.internet.InternetAddress} (requires Javamail 2.+ in the classpath)</li>
   * <li>{@link Enum}</li>
   * </ul>
   *
   * Lists and arrays are available for all types.<br>
   * Note that this class is only a thin wrapper over functionality already provided by {@link AbstractConfiguration}.
   * Basically, the generic {@code get()}, and {@code getCollection()} methods are used to actually perform data
   * conversions.
   *
   * <p>
   * <strong>Example</strong>
   * </p>
   *
   * Configuration file {@code config.properties}:
   *
   * <pre>
   * title.color = #0000FF
   * remote.host = 192.168.0.53
   * default.locales = fr,en,de
   * email.contact = dev@test.org, tester@test.org
   * </pre>
   *
   * Usage:
   *
   * <pre>
   * DataConfiguration config = new DataConfiguration(new PropertiesConfiguration("config.properties"));
   *
   * // retrieve a property using a specialized getter
   * Color color = config.getColor("title.color");
   *
   * // retrieve a property using a generic getter
   * InetAddress host = (InetAddress) config.get(InetAddress.class, "remote.host");
   * Locale[] locales = (Locale[]) config.getArray(Locale.class, "default.locales");
   * List contacts = config.getList(InternetAddress.class, "email.contact");
   * </pre>
   *
   * <p>
   * <strong>Dates</strong>
   * </p>
   *
   * Date objects are expected to be formatted with the pattern {@code yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}. This default format can be
   * changed by specifying another format in the getters, or by putting a date format in the configuration under the key
   * {@code org.apache.commons.configuration.format.date}. Alternatively, the date format can also be specified via the
   * {@code ConversionHandler} used by a configuration instance:
   *
   * <pre>
   * DefaultConversionHandler handler = new DefaultConversionHandler();
   * handler.setDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");
   * config.setConversionHandler(handler);
  * </pre>
  *
  * @since 1.1
