Getting rid of the conversion restrictions would be great as it seems to have been a barrier when I was looking at using your packages some months ago. Looking forward to new releases under 0.5, keep up the great work. I have no doubt that over time the amazing performance boosts will lead many to look into applying ParallelAccelerator functionality.
