+ * Here is an example path: /admin/structure/block/manage/{block}
+ *
+ * In this case, '{block}' would be the path parameter which should be turned
+ * into a block object representing the block in question.
+ *
+ * ParamConverters are defined as services tagged with 'paramconverter', and are
+ * managed by the 'paramconverter_manager' service.
