        Utility method to check if this (self) converter can be appended after the output of the provided converter.
        This method does not check if it makes sense, it just checks if the output type of the left converter is
        compliant with the input type of this converter. Compliant means:
        * strict mode : type equality
        * non-strict mode : output type of left_converter should be a subclass of input type of this converter
