Mostly I was just concerned that we missed a somewhat subtle bug in the first conversion, and I think it's worth calling out in the commit message why that callsite must be converted in a particular way. Whether that happens in a separate commit or squashed, I don't care too much.

But I dunno. Maybe it is obvious now that the correct code is in there. ;)
