I disagree that cbook is meant for devs. I initially used cbook as a place to
put neat recipes from the python cookbook. It has grown a bit from there. The
stuff that is in there like "is_string_like" is generically useful.
The converters are used by the rec2* funcs, eg the rec2excel function in the
exceltools toolkit. I use these extensively.

Or better, we change the docstring. I think of mlab as a place to put numerical
or semi-numerical stuff in support of plotting.

mlab is probably the best place.
