Converts a String into a multi type data object.

<p/>This method will return the native type as String. Methods that use this one to convert other types via
String should override this with the correct native type.

@param  s The String to convert.

@return A multi type data object holding all the types that the String can be converted into.
Converts a String into a multi type data object .
