I have just been updating the doc for this control, and it would make
the description easier to understand if the checkbox had the opposite
polarity. For a "Don't convert" control I first have to describe what
happens when you _do_ convert, and then explain that the box is checked
by default, so that _won't_ happen, and that the user has to uncheck if
he _does_ want it to happen. Which all seems rather twisted to me.
