<div class="block">Converts this literal to a literal of the given type.
<p>
When a predicate is bound to a concrete data column, literals are converted to match the bound
column's type. This conversion process is more narrow than a cast and is only intended for
cases where substituting one type is a common mistake (e.g. 34 instead of 34L) or where this
API avoids requiring a concrete class (e.g., dates).
<p>
If conversion to a target type is not supported, this method returns null.
<p>
This method may return <code>Literals.aboveMax()</code> or <code>Literals.belowMin()</code> when the target
type is not as wide as the original type. These values indicate that the containing predicate
can be simplified. For example, Integer.MAX_VALUE+1 converted to an int will result in
<code>aboveMax</code> and can simplify a &lt; Integer.MAX_VALUE+1 to <a href="Expressions.html#alwaysTrue()"><code>Expressions.alwaysTrue()</code></a></div>
