Support for automatic conversion to inline classes or a better way than transform(::ValueClass)

[maksym-moroz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be possible to figure out if the mapping can be done, even if the mapping is not matching. Maybe it can be a flag users can opt in to get automatic conversion

Describe the solution you'd like
My Dto model can include something like id: Long that I want to expose as inline class Id(value: Long) from my domain. I would love to just do it via to::id fromProperty from::id without needing transform

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just using a more verbose form doing it manually

Hi @maksym-moroz.

I agree that something better than the current approach is needed. I'm not sure what that should be yet. You don't want to consider e.g. value class X(value: String) equal to type String as this would defeat the purpose of value classes.

I'm currently thinking of: 1. an annotation to consider value classes and their inner type equal in the whole mapper, 2. add a mapping function similar to fromProperty to be more lenient with value classes, or 3. a transform function which calls the specific constructor for you.

Any thoughts or other suggestions are welcome :)
