    A converter is used to convert (duh) between stuff. They provide access
    to external libraries that may or may not be present.

    Now, things are a bit messy, since classes in `exporter` (and `importer` to a lesser extent) do
    the same. In a better world, classes from `exporter` and `importer` would
    use converters to do their stuff. (TODO)
