 * This class is intended to handle <byte> element.
 * This element specifies {@code byte} values.
 * The class {@link Byte} is used as wrapper for these values.
 * The result value is created from text of the body of this element.
 * The body parsing is described in the class {@link StringElementHandler}.
 * For example:<pre>
 * &lt;byte&gt;127&lt;/byte&gt;</pre>
 * is shortcut to<pre>
 * &lt;method name="decode" class="java.lang.Byte"&gt;
 *     &lt;string&gt;127&lt;/string&gt;
 * &lt;/method&gt;</pre>
 * which is equivalent to {@code Byte.decode("127")} in Java code.

 * <dl>
 * <dt>id
 * <dd>the identifier of the variable that is intended to store the result
