I have not had time to review the changes line-by-line
but I have added a couple unit tests [1] and tested on
a project [2][3].

jck has added the unit tests to the repository mentioned
above [4].  See jck's repo for the latest implementation.

Functionally this implementation looks complete and has
tested well.  Thanks for the implementation jck!  This
is really exciting.  All the tests in conversion/general
appear to pass, need to run the other tests when we have
a chance.
