Description
Discussed here originally: https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/8846
This is a really simple way to implement model binding behaviour, and is a totally appropriate thing to do when you have a single field in the request that maps to a complex object.
It would be easy for us to support this because we already have infrastructure that users model binding to call a type converter. We already use type converters defined on types, what this would add would be the ability to use types like `List<>` and apply the attribute to provide a converter.
