Description

During the review of #2079 it became clear that Spel expressions once evaluated should also pass through the standard conversion.

One typical use case is that a query takes an entity as argument and Spel is used to extract the various members, which might have a custom WriteConversion associated. Such conversion should then get applied.

Review issue #2079 first, then trace how SpEL query arguments are evaluated and how the standard conversion path handles entity members. Done means evaluated SpEL values pass through that conversion path, including applicable custom WriteConversion handlers.
