It doesn't make sense to have convert-ly produce non-working code for version 2.19.40 . And convert-ly cannot promise to fix code that never worked due to its combination of version statement and old syntax. It isn't guaranteed that you can run convert-ly multiple times for the same version range without producing invalid code. -- David Kastrup
