Not really.

Well, I don't like compromises when you can get both worlds. ;)
What I want (for the simple conversions like truecolor<->truecolor
at least) is:
convert(handle1, handle2);
which doesn't do any intermediate load stores.
But maybe we're talking about different things? I'm just talking
about conversions from one pixel-format to another. If you're
talking about reading an image file from disk and writing it out
in another image format you will ofcourse need some intermediate
buffer.

Sure, send it over.
