    // Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Single, Double, Decimal, DateTime,
    // or String). The implementations of these methods all take the form:

    //        return value == null? XXX.Default: ((IConvertible)value).ToXXX();
    //    }

    // same as TypeCode.Empty), in which case it returns the default value for type
    // XXX. Otherwise, a cast to IConvertible is performed, and the appropriate ToXXX()
    // method is invoked on the object. An InvalidCastException is thrown if the
    // cast to IConvertible fails, and that exception is simply allowed to propagate out
    // of the conversion method.
