Fine. As this is not a correctness issue with the conversion itself,
but rather an attempt to detect misconfiguration by the user, it can
always be revisited later if someone comes up with a more solid
argument that one interpretation is more correct than the other.

I did leave a few review comments on v9, but I don't think any are
necessarily worth a re-roll. If anything, and if they seem actionable,
then perhaps a patch or two atop the series could address them (at
some point).
