287	Conversion function naming	rgrieder	nobody	"If you look at src/util/Convert.h you can see in the public section almost at the end of the file, that we have tons of different functions that do the same.

That is not such a big problem, most of the are very useful indeed.
But the issues are:
- There is ""convertValue"" and ""ConverValue"", that's a bad idea
- I have chosen ""omni_cast"" to speed up writing short conversions. The name is quite bad and someone made a suggestion for a new name: ""multi_cast"". Is that more appropriate?
- Furthermore, getConvertedValue and omni_cast do the same. We could easily merge them. The difference is the order of the template parameters."	defect	closed	minor	Version 0.3 Codename: Castor	GeneralFramework	0.2.0	fixed	convert, conversion
