public interface Transformer

extends Serializable

Interface for transformations. Actually, since there are so many types of transformers (byte/byte, char/char, char/byte), nothing can be pointed out to be typical for Transformers. This interface ended up a bit emptier than I anticipated. A Transformer must be serializable, because it is exposed through bridge (as 'processors').
