Andrzej, it's certainly flattering to hear that but truth be told 
'convert' does embarrassingly *very* little by itself -- when 
tr1::optional (or extended boost::optional) are be available, 'convert' 
will simply use/deploy the functionality provided by "optional". So, in 
the end, 'convert' is trying to become famous on the backs of smarter 
people. ;-)
